Wine reviews

October 2014

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is a generous, ripe, cassis-smelling and flavored wine with full-bodied power, an opaque color, plenty of licorice, graphite, black fruits and cedar wood characteristics, and fabulous upside potential. It should age well for 15-20 years. - RP

October 2015

I thought the Jenzen Cabernet Sauvignons showed brilliantly. The 2012 Janzen Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple color followed by notes of creosote, burning embers, wood spice, forest floor, blackberry and cassis. It is full-bodied with great intensity and a long, rich, concentrated finish. - RP
