Tasting notes
This site continues to produce magical wines. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard showed incredibly well from barrel, and it's a majestic, stunning wine from bottle. Loads of spiced plums, blackcurrants, rare meat, decaying flowers, tobacco, and a whiff of chocolate all soar from the glass, and it has that rare sense of power paired with a sense of weightlessness that this vineyard does so well. Deep, full-bodied, and opulent, it has plenty of tannins, no hard edges, and a monster of a finish. Drink it any time over the coming 20 years or more.

A barrel sample, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard sports a very deep purple-black color and nose of crushed black berries, wild blueberries and cassis with touches of forest floor, iron ore, dried Mediterranean herbs and rare beef. The full-bodied palate is packed solid with fresh black fruit, herbs and exotic spice layers, framed by firm, very fine-grained tannins and seamless acid, finishing with epic persistence.
