Cliff Lede Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is more exuberant and sexy, which is to be expected from this Grand Cru vineyard. Sweet cassis, flowery incense, liquid violets, and spicy oak are just some of the nuances here, and this hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and one heck of a great finish. It's impossible resist today, yet it's another magical wine from this estate that will evolve for 20-25 years if stored correctly. 721 cases.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with a profound nose of crème de cassis, baked plums and blackberry preserves, leading to hints of cinnamon toast, menthol and cedar chest plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, fine-grained and refreshing, the palate is elegantly styled with amazing intensity and a fantastically long, earthy finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is a blend of three clones off this historic ranch. A rush of dark red/purplish fruit, dried herbs, licorice, leather, scorched earth and tobacco saturates the palate. This inky, full- throttled Cabernet certainly has a ton to offer. A whole range of savory notes lead into the potent finish.
