Working with this iconic vineyard for nearly three decades, Paul has developed an intuitive understanding of the land and how the vines thrive in this microclimate. He selects specific rows of grapes which contribute to the wine’s formidable complexity and refinement. Its black garnet hues express aromas of violets, exotic spices, carob and wet stone. Silky and rich, the wine is powerfully charged with intricate layers of graphite, leather and toasted almond wood. The super-fine, velvety mid-palate crescendos toward a seemingly endless finish.
Wine Advocate Review:
A much darker and more virile wine, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard opens with beguiling aromatics that meld into a core of blue and black fruit, exotic spices, tar, smoke and violets. The 2010 boasts superb depth, power and richness in a weighty, brooding style that is the essence of To Kalon. A huge, intense finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2032.
