Tasting notes
For Tor's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard FnA, winemaker Jeff Ames blended fruit from Block A (near the road) and F (from the back of the property), because, according to owner Tor Kenward, "A didn't stand on its own." It does come across as slightly more open-knit and perhaps less concentrated than Tor's other To Kalon bottlings, but that's nit-picking at this quality level. Mixed red and black cherries and ground allspice aromas are joined by loamy earth scents on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate finishes long and richly textured.

There are three releases from the To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon FnA comes from the F and A blocks. It's a more elegant, round, open-knit beauty displaying perfumed red and black fruits as well as some classic To Kalon floral and incense nuances. It still brings ample depth and richness, has velvety tannins, full-bodied richness, and a layered, seamless mouthfeel. It should keep for 15-20 years and age gracefully on its overall balance.
