Wine reviews

December 2016

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer to Kalon Vineyard defines what a great terroir can do. Great fruit, great balance, amazing complexity and intensity, but without any real weight, and a style that satisfies the hedonistic as well as intellectual senses, this big, lush, fruit-driven but profound wine should be delicious when released and evolve for 20 or more years.-RP
