Tasting notes
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings might end up being the star of the show in 2016 when all is said and done. I wrote "crazy good" in my raw notes, and it has a sensational nose of crème de cassis, blueberries, graphite, iron, and lavender. These carry to a full-bodied, concentrated, extravagantly textured 2016 with a great sense of freshness, ripe tannins, and a brilliant finish.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings is dense, powerful and lush in the glass, with tremendous richness in all of its dimensions. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, spice and new leather all flesh out in this ample, broad-shouldered To Kalon Cabernet. Silky tannins and plush, resonant inky fruit add to the wine's considerable appeal.
The very deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The Three Kings features compelling black cherries, warm black berries and crème de cassis notes with nuances of plum pudding, mincemeat pie, sautéed herbs, charcuterie, tapenade and Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, it fills the palate with exotic spices and black fruit preserves, framed by approachable grainy tannins and finishing very long and very spicy.
