Wine reviews
Pure and powerful, with an intense core of dark berry, mocha, spice, black licorice and exotic spices, tightly wound and sharply focused, sailing on the finish, where the tannins give the flavors traction. Best from 2014 through 2022. 50 cases made. —J.L.
Pure and powerful, with an intense core of dark berry, mocha, black licorice and exotic spices, tightly wound and sharply focused, sailing on the finish, where the tannins give the flavors traction. Best from 2014 through 2022. From California.—J.L.
A decidedly more elegant, polished expression of To Kalon comes through in 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Clone 337. Fine, silky tannins provide support for an expressive core of black cherries, new leather, plums, cassis and spice box. With time in the glass the wine continues to flesh out, showing its radiant, voluptuous personality to the maximum. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030. - AG
