2016 | Alpha Omega | Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep red fruit evokes currant and cassis—rich, concentrated flavors that complement notions of iron, graphite and dusty rock. Supple and full of length and breadth, it has structure to age and long-lasting seasonings of oak and cocoa powder.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (100% Cabernet) has a deep garnet-purple color and hits the ground running with gregarious black plum preserves, crème de cassis, tilled soil, Indian spices and potpourri notes with touches of tilled soil and tree bark. Full-bodied, rich and laden with decadent black fruit preserves flavors, it is textured with gorgeous, plush tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and spicy.

• James Suckling: This is a very powerful and structured To Kalon with blackberries and blueberries and hints of tile and crushed stones. Full and tight. Tannic and focused. Needs three to four years to soften.
