Tasting notes
The clear standout in 2017 is the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The G.T.O., a deeper, richer, incredibly impressive wine from a challenging vintage. As always, a blend of the three parcels, this deep purple-hued beauty offers a full-bodied, rich, concentrated style as well as beautiful cassis and darker fruits, some complex notes of iron, violets, white pepper, and flowery incense, perfect tannins, and an expansive, layered, opulent profile that's hard to find in this vintage. It's an incredible wine.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The GTO springs from the glass with bold crème de cassis, blackberry pie, preserved plums and cigar box scents with hints of incense, underbrush, Chinese five spice and tree bark. Big, rich, opulent and full with firm, grainy tannins and bags of spicy black fruit, it has a velvety texture and long, layered finish.
