Critic Ratings
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 99:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is exuberant and expressive, with cassis, floral incense, violet and spicy oak. Full-bodied richness is carried by ultra-fine tannins and a seamless texture. The finish is exceptionally long, and the wine has the structure to evolve for two decades or more.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 98:
Deep cassis, baked plum and blackberry preserve aromas lead into cinnamon toast, menthol, cedar and crushed rock. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, fine-grained and refreshing despite its impressive intensity. Its elegant shape and exceptionally long, earthy finish give it both polish and staying power.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 98:
Lavender, clove and cassis make the bouquet notably perfumed and refined. Velvety tannins carry a persistent texture across an elegant, balanced palate. Bright acidity gives dignity to the wine’s weight and breadth, with the best drinking expected from 2029 through 2039.
James Suckling Review - Rated 95:
Mulberry and cherry aromas are framed by dried herbs, cedar, tile and spice-box notes. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and structured, with firm, polished tannins and a chalky texture. A long mineral finish completes the wine, which is now entering its recommended drinking window.
