Sourced from favored rows within the acclaimed C2 block of Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, this elegant wine exudes class and refinement with aromas of black currant, blackberry, boysenberry, red cherry, forest floor, cedar, tobacco, Oolong tea, vanilla and pie crust. The mouthfeel is broad and complex with mature, fine tannins and vibrant acidity providing a frame for the cascading red and black fruits that persist through the very long finish. We recommend decanting this wine in its youth.
Wine Advocate Review:
Of the three Beckstoffer Vineyards, it’s pretty much a joyride as to which one readers may prefer. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (readers may remember the 2002 merited a 100-point score) has a beautiful blueberry and blackberry fruit note, a hint of incense, charcoal, an opaque purple color, full-bodied opulence and again that first-growth quality, richness, complexity and intensity. I’m not sure this is as compelling as the 2002, but it’s not far away. This is a magnificent, multi-dimensional, skyscraper-like Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 15-20 years. Drink 2014-2034.
