Always a standout. The Wine Advocate rates this tops:
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard needs a little swirling to reveal notes of crushed rocks, Indian spices and garrigue over a core of warm cassis, redcurrant jelly and blackberry preserves. Full-bodied, the palate has beautiful freshness and well-managed, soft tannins supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and earthy.
Purlieu says:
Sleek and bright, the 2019 Purlieu To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon dazzles with its world-famous fruit. The nose opens with earthy aromas of sandalwood and berries, but the palate bursts with To Kalon’s signature sweet berry character, layered with juicy black and red fruit and a warm cola caramel. Ultra-fine tannins provide a lithe, silky texture that slips all too easily from the glass. The lingering finish glides smoothly through waves of rich mocha with warm red fruit overtones.
