Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The O.G. might give up a little richness compared to the Grand Daddy, but it's flawlessly balanced and as seamless as they come, with a kaleidoscope-like bouquet of spring flowers, lead pencil, cassis, espresso, and flowery incense that's to die for. Full-bodied, deep, and flawlessly balanced, it shows the vintage’s incredible richness and ripeness while at the same time staying pure, elegant, and seamless. Don't miss it.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The O.G.. is another super-rich, sumptuous wine. The O.G.. is the most intense and concentrated of Mark Carter's three To Kalon Cabernets. Demi-glace like textural richness and power are two of the main signatures. Blackberry jam, crème de cassis, chocolate, lavender and sweet spice are some of the many aromas and flavors that build in this super-expressive Cabernet.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The O G reveals intense warm plums, cassis and blackberry compote notes with touches of incense, Chinese five spice, dusty earth and potpourri. Full-bodied and full-throttle in the mouth, it coats the palate with rich, opulent black fruit and spices, framed by velvety tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and earthy.
