Wine reviews

May 2022

This is lush in feel, with waves of plum compote, warmed cassis and melted red and black licorice flavors layered seamlessly, while light singed vanilla and mocha hints guide the finish. Drink now through 2033. 200 cases made. – JM

October 2021

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard sashays out of the glass with flamboyant notes of wild blueberries, boysenberries and warm cassis, plus wafts of violets, dusty soil and clove oil. Full-bodied and packed with impactful black and blue fruits, the opulent flavors are skillfully supported by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. – LPB
