The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is packed with crème de cassis, blackberry jam, spice, leather, sweet vanillin and copious new oak. Fruit and oak sweetness pretty much cover the To Kalon character here.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon powers out of the glass with gorgeous crème de cassis, blueberry compote and blackberry pie scents, plus hints of cast-iron pan, tapenade and Indian spices. Full-bodied, concentrated and jam-packed with black fruit layers, the richness is interspersed with lots of bright red berry and spicy sparks, supported by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and earthy.
