Vice Versa Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Based on 100% Cabernet brought up in 75% new French oak, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is another gem, ranking with the top wines of the vintage. More reserved aromatically, yet with sensational purity in its assorted dark fruits, espresso, violet, and flowery incense aromas, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a plush, opulent texture, building tannins, and a great, great finish. It's no lightweight, yet it has a rare mix of power and elegance. This Grand Cru site in Oakville excelled in 2018, and this beauty is going to benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar and cruise for two decades.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard charges out of the glass with bold notions of baked plums, warm cassis and blackberry pie, plus hints of camphor, dusty soil, Chinese five spice and garrigue. The palate is full-bodied and full-on concentrated, revealing powerful black fruit and exotic spice flavors with a plush texture and just enough freshness, finishing on a persistent anise note. Classic To Kalon.
