This is a very powerful and structured To Kalon with blackberries and blueberries and hints of tile and crushed stones. Full and tight. Tannic and focused. Needs three to four years to soften.
Just about pure perfection in a glass, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon is a majestic, opulent, heavenly example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Loaded with notions of crème de cassis, incense, flowery spice, and earth, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, weightless texture, building yet sweet tannins, and a great, great finish. There are 470 cases of this elixir that will knock your socks off over the coming 15-20 years.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is compelling. Explosive and vivid, the To Kalon is super expressive from the very first taste. Black cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice and new French oak all fill out. Even with all of its obvious power, the 2016 is beautifully delineated. Time in the glass brings out an attractive floral quality and slightly redder tonalities in the fruit. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gem.
