Wine reviews

February 2011

A long distance runner is the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is tight and restrained, but promising. The wine reveals an inky/purple color along with notes of lead pencil shavings, ink, creme de cassis, blueberries, vanilla and spice box. Full and rich as well as loaded with tannin and extract, forget it for 3-4 years and consume it over the following two decades
