2014 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #8
The 2012 Beckstoffer To Kalon Napa Valley red is simply stunning. This is composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Cabernet Franc which is a varietal that is scarce in To Kalon. As this begins to unwind in the glass it releases seductive aromas of blackberries, cassis, savory herbs, sweet spices, licorice and fresh minerals are all woven together in this dazzling red. On the palate this continues to impress, showing wonderful balance and finesse, nicely structured around beautifully polished tannins that takes the wine into the long supple finish. This is a completely compelling wine and although it will only get better in time, it is impossible to resist today. (Best 2017-2035) - December, 2014 (JD)
