Tasting notes
The most complete and harmonious of the Vice Versa releases this vintage, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard offers seamless integration of fruit and oak; earthy, savory notes; and ripe cassis and black cherry fruit. Full-bodied and velvety in feel, with a tremendously long, balanced finish, I tried this again after all of the other Vice Versa wines (including The Magnificent Seven) and still preferred it. I suppose at $250 for To Kalon, it qualifies as some sort of value.

Pure Napa Valley magic, as well as a perfect wine, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is all varietal and was raised 18 months in 75% new French oak, bottled with no fining. Insanely gorgeous crème de cassis, white flowers, incense, and spicy notes define the bulk of the bouquet, and it hits the palate with a full-bodied, powerful, yet weightless mouthfeel, perfect tannins, and just every single aspect in the right place. This is toe curling stuff that will knock your socks off any time over the coming two decades or more. Hats off to the team at Vice Versa and the Melka consulting team.
