Wine reviews

December 2023

Lastly, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is based largely on clone 337, and it's a wonderfully complete, classic expression of this vineyard. Red, blue, and black fruits, smoked tobacco, loamy earth, and chocolate notes all define the bouquet, and it hits the palate with full body, a layered, powerful, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a blockbuster styled profile that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. If I had a bottle, I'd drink it today, but smart money will give this 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
