One of Napa Valley's most collectible Cabernets - very limited.
98+ Points Robert Parker: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard starts off with soft-spoken scents of ripe red and black plums, cassis, black raspberries and mulberries, followed by gentle wafts of cedar and pencil lead and finally bursting out with Sichuan pepper and hoisin notes. The medium to full-bodied palate is opulent, plushly textured and brimming with spicy red and blackberry layers, going beautifully perfumed on the long finish. Paul Hobbs mentioned that he backed off on the new oak this year, aging the wine in 85% new French oak (as opposed to 100%). I love this more elegant, nuanced expression a lot. 688 cases were made."
The legendary vineyard situated on the Oakville bench is farmed by both row and vine so we can endow the fullest expression of the site. Presenting finely sculpted layers of cassis, cocoa, and graphite with an endless finish adorned with velvety yet stately tannins.
Pioneering vintner H.W. Crabb first planted the vineyard in the mid-19th century. Well-regarded for its superlative fruit, he appropriately named it, “To Kalon”, Greek for “highest good.” In the 20th century, the site found new glory as the source of the legendary Georges de Latour wines made by Andre Tchelistcheff. The section we farm is specified by both the row and vine so we can bestow the best expression of this highly coveted site.
