From Block A2B, which was replanted to a different row orientation in 2018, Vida Valiente's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is loaded with dried spice notes of clove, cumin and cinnamon, plus plenty of ripe black cherries. Full-bodied yet balanced, it easily combines firmness and plushness on the palate, culminating in a long, dusty finish.

From the A2 block, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a fruit bomb, offering red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with incense and spice. Full-bodied on the palate, with no hard edges, it's a sexy, layered effort with beautiful tannins and a silky, elegant texture. Drink over the next 15-20 years.
