Leaving no detail to chance, he helped build the fermenters used to craft this small-lot wine. Deep in the heart of Napa Valley, H.W. Crabb planted a vast empire of vines in the 1860s. Eventually it grew thick with grapes, orange trees, and Italian chestnuts. So rich was it with life and bounty that Crabb nobly bestowed upon the wine produced from the vineyard the Greek name To Kalon, or Highest Beauty. Today, To Kalon Vineyard Company is dedicated to crafting unique expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon from this storied place. Sited between the sheltering Vaca and Mayacamas mountain ranges in Napa Valley, To Kalon Vineyard’s well-drained, gravelly soil allows the vines to root deeply finding precious moisture and nutrients. The broad diurnal temperature shifts and reliable sun, wind, and fog, provide and ideal blend of growth and rest for complex flavor development.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-01-25T12:14:00-05:00","created_at":"2024-01-23T11:38:20-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK210124","Other_Wine","Producer_To Kalon Vineyard Co.","Region_Oakville","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0124","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon"],"price":21890000,"price_min":21890000,"price_max":21890000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44232427896970,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | To Kalon Vineyard Co. | HWC Cabernet Sauvignon","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":21890000,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/37_ac4a6fb0-dfa9-4225-8fc4-e90232d31c79.jpg?v=1706027965"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/37_ac4a6fb0-dfa9-4225-8fc4-e90232d31c79.jpg?v=1706027965","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | To Kalon Vineyard Co. | HWC Cabernet Sauvignon at CaskCartel.com","id":25975183999114,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.278,"height":1200,"width":333,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/37_ac4a6fb0-dfa9-4225-8fc4-e90232d31c79.jpg?v=1706027965"},"aspect_ratio":0.278,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/37_ac4a6fb0-dfa9-4225-8fc4-e90232d31c79.jpg?v=1706027965","width":333}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | To Kalon Vineyard Co. | HWC Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is densely packed, with layers of black currant, fig, blackberry and black cherry fruit paste inlaid with a loamy structure and framed by smoldering tobacco and chestnut.
