2019 Cliff Lede Cabernet Beckstoffer to Kalon Napa 750ml

The deep dark ruby colored 2019 Beckstoffer To Kalon boasts a brooding perfume of sultry violets, wild lackberry, and black figs. Red currant, black cherry, and mulberry preserve flavors dominate the entry tinged ith cool menthol and bay laurel notes. Hallmark accents of gravelly loam, graphite, and créme de cassis open along the fresh finish and linger long after tasting. This multilayered wine will continue to open and gain imense depth and length with proper cellaring. – Christopher Tynan, Director of Winemaking Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Alcohol: 14.4% Production: 721 cases Bottling Date: July 2021 Release Date: May 2022 98 points Wine Advocate The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with a profound nose of crème de cassis, baked plums and blackberry preserves, leading to hints of cinnamon toast, menthol and cedar chest plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, fine-grained and refreshing, the palate is elegantly styled with amazing intensity and a fantastically long, earthy finish.
