2010 Château Jacquelynn Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is quite a bit firmer and more tannic than the straight Oakville bottling. A massive, hulking wine, the To Kalon boasts huge power and depth. Chocolate, espresso, mocha, plums, graphite and crushed rocks all come to life as this powerful authoritative wine shows off its pedigree. Although outstanding, the 2010 isn’t a truly epic To Kalon. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2022. These wines from Jacquelynn, the sister label to Chateau Boswell, were made by winemaker Luc Morlet, who was replaced by Russell Bevan with the 2012 harvest. I tasted the 2010 Jacquelynn Cabernet Sauvignons from bottle twice, but never found the pedigree and sheer excitement these wines had when I tasted them in barrel in late 2011. Tel. (707) 963-5472
