Tasting notes
More crème de cassis, incense, cigar, white flowers, tobacco, and toasted bread notes dominate the nose of the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon, and it's a deep, powerful, concentrated expression of To Kolan that's going to need time. Nevertheless, it's full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and a remarkable wine. Give bottles 2-4 years and it will evolve for 20+ years.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard comes flowing out of the glass like a wall of molten rock, offering compelling notions of warm cassis, mocha, dried mulberries and baked plums plus hints of underbrush, mossy bark and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate features very impressive, super-ripe, fine-grained tannins and just enough freshness to support the earth-accented black fruits, finishing on a lingering mineral note. 100 cases produced.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is a powerful, full-throttle wine that is shaping up nicely. Red cherry jam and exotic spice are amped up in a potent Cabernet with no hard edges and quite a bit of promise.
