2015 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a rich, heady wine full of near and medium-term appeal. Inky dark fruit, crushed rocks, spice and menthol open effortlessly, filling out the layers nicely. The 2015 is racy, deep and impressively constituted. Moreover, its a great example of both this site and vintage. I loved it.

Haunting aromas of terracotta, blackberries, plums and sweet tobacco. Very complex nose. Full body, super silky tannins, spices and ripe fruit. Ripe and compressed tannins. A reserved finish. More precise. A sensational wine. Cooler and more defined than the 2013. Try in 2021. (12/2018)

Another perfect wine is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon and readers wanting to know the heights this vineyard can hit need to try this wine. As with all these latest 2015s, this is no shrinking violet and boasts huge notes of blueberries, flowers, graphite, and incense. With a deep, full-bodied style on the palate, masses of tannin, yet not a hard edge to be found and perfect balance, it’s another majestic, profound wine from this team. (12/2017)

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard has a very deep garnet-purple color and opens with a wonderfully gregarious, outspoken blackcurrant, black cherries and red rose-laced core with underlying suggestions of Indian spices, mocha and cedar. Big, full-bodied and voluptuous in the mouth, the rich fruit is seductively draped in velvety tannins, texturing the long, spicy finish. 325 cases were made.
