The 2017 Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant follow up to lasts years sensational release which was our wine of the year. The Cabernet is sourced from the B, D and F blocks and fermented with 337 clones from Tor’s rows in the back of the vineyard and was harvested six days before the Atlas Fires. This gorgeous Cabernet opens to remarkably perfumed aromatics of fresh ripe blackberries, dark currants and even some black cherries, which are woven together with graphite, violets and a touch of sweet pipe tobacco and licorice. On the palate this full-bodied Cabernet displays remarkable depth with a gorgeous inner sweetness and outstanding concentration. Rich, seamless and beautifully polished, this continues to deliver loads of incredibly pure ripe dark fruits which envelop the palate and linger through the long opulent finish. Once again this is an absolute gem from Tor which is already showing outstanding today, yet will certainly have a tremendous future ahead.
