Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard 2023
2023 is an exceptional vintage marked by one of the longest growing seasons in over a decade. Significant winter and spring rains led to a mild summer and overall cooler weather throughout the growing season, aided by abundant sunshine, which allowed grapes to develop slowly and evenly. The extended hang time has produced wines with remarkably complex flavors and excellent aging potential.
At Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, these ideal conditions contributed to exceptional fruit development, enhancing the vineyard’s renowned structure and complexity. With optimal ripening and balanced acidity, the 2023 vintage is shaping up to be one of the most refined and expressive yet, offering remarkable depth, concentration, and longevity—qualities that will define this vintage Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
"I have no doubt that 2023 will go down as one of the most phenomenal vintages ever in Napa Valley." - Karen MacNeil

2022
"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon waltzes out with showy, carefree scents of crème de cassis, juicy plums, and blueberry pie, leading to suggestions of Chinese five spice and potpourri. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers spicy black fruit preserves flavors with a grainy texture and oodles of freshness, finishing on a fragrant earth note."

2021
"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon tumbles from the glass with expressive notions of creme de cassis, sandalwood, cedar chest, and fertile loam followed by suggestions of violets and mocha. The medium to full-bodied palate is intense without being weighty, delivering layer upon layer of black fruits and exotic spices and a velvety texture, finishing long and perfumed."

2019
"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard sashays out of the glass with flamboyant notes of wild blueberries, boysenberries and warm cassis, plus wafts of violets, dusty soil and clove oil. Full-bodied and packed with impactful black and blue fruits, the opulent flavors are skillfully supported by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length."

2018
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard hits the ground running with flamboyant scents of baked black cherries, mulberries and crème de cassis plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, damp soil, mossy tree bark and tobacco with a waft of bay leaves. The palate is decadently dense with a concentrated, full-bodied black fruit core and a frame of very firm, ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and refreshingly lifted. Classic To Kalon at its best!"
