2010 Alpha Omega
Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon North Blocks
Beckstoffer
To Kalon
Vineyard
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon North Blocks stands out for its racy, opulent personality. Texturally soft and luscious, the North Blocks is marked by super-ripe fruit that skirts the edge of overripeness. Hard tannins from the oak is quite evident as well. Ultimately this is a wine of significant promise but unfulfilled potential. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Alpha Omega this year. The estate’s Cabernets are rich and full-bodied, yet also express plenty of site-specific character. - AG
