2016 | Macauley Vineyard | Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark and winey, featuring well-steeped black currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors, entwined with loam, smoldering tobacco and bittersweet chocolate notes.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Deep garnet-purple colored and with a nose of vibrant black currants and blackberries plus earth, spices and some meaty elements, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (a barrel sample) is full-bodied, rich and concentrated, very spicy and earthy in the mouth with firm, chewy tannins and good length.

• James Suckling: Dark and winey, featuring well-steeped black currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors, entwined with loam, smoldering tobacco and bittersweet chocolate notes. Frankly hefty, but shows the cut and drive for balance, with a latent tug of terroir.

Producer Information

The Macauley Vineyard label was originally established in St. Helena in the early 1980s by Ann Macauley Watson and for several years produced a very well received late harvest Sauvignon Blanc with help from renowned winemaker, Ric Forman. In the late summer of 2000, Ann’s son Mac went to work for Rudd Estate in Oakville. After several months of winery work and education he was inspired to revive the family label, and, working with winemaker and childhood friend Kirk Venge, crushed his first grapes in October 2001. Mac and Kirk have one goal: to source the highest quality fruit in Napa Valley and make wines of extraordinary depth and personality. The grapes they choose showcase the terroir of the vineyards and create a remarkable wine-drinking experience.
