Another blockbuster offering from the Three Kings section of the Beckstoffer To Kalon vineyard, this wine throws off an amazingly deep garnet color tinged with an electric purple hue. Revealing superb balance and concentration, it is a successful expression of both the richness and power of clone 7 from the world class vineyard. With its fruit forward profile, the wine opens up immediately with sugar plums and floral aromatics mixed with incense and notes of graphite. The palate is epic, loaded with rounded tannins and balanced acidity - the trademark signature of this wine. Seamless and loaded with waves of decadent Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, this wine borders on stunning. While drinking superb now, give this beautiful wine a few years in the cellar to round out and you'll be rewarded by additional nuances for years to come.

Leading off the To Kalon releases, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings is based on Clone 7 and was brought up in new barrels. There are 132 cases produced, and it's loaded with ripe blackberry and currant fruit as well as notes of licorice, scorched earth, smoked tobacco, and graphite. More structured, focused, and inward than normal, it has substantial tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, remarkable purity, and a great finish. Give this powerful, structured yet impeccably balanced Cabernet Sauvignon 4-5 years of bottle age and drink over the following 20+ years.
