Wine reviews
Coming from the A1 Block (planted in 1990) in this iconic vineyard and aged 22 months in new barrels, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a bigger, riper wine compared to the Georges III release and is absolutely loaded with black and blue fruits, chocolate, gravelly earth, tobacco, and sweet spices. Full-bodied, concentrated, and incredibly expansive, this ripe, sexy beast will scratch any itch you might have for a powerful Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It will evolve for two decades.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is also primordial and primary, with ripe blue fruits as well as hints of sandalwood, spice, and tobacco. It brings a great mid-palate, full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It's another brilliant 2021 that readers will absolutely love.
