Product Overview

"For the first time, Tor's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon includes a fair whack of Cabernet Franc (14%), which winemaker Jeff Ames co-fermented with a portion of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Perhaps that is the source of the wine's delicate herbal shadings, adding complexity and freshness to the black cherry and cassis fruit. Full-bodied, rich, velvety and long, this is really super stuff, with tea-like notes emerging on the finish and lingering silky-dusty tannins." -JC, 5/31/22

"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a dark, potent wine. Huge tannins and intense dark-fleshed fruit give the 2019 its decidedly virile personality. There is plenty of depth, but at the same time, the tannins are rough and there just isn't the level of textural polish found in the other 2019s. Black plum, chocolate, spice, licorice and espresso build into the potent finish. A second bottle showed a slightly astringent character, along with the angular contours I saw in the first bottle, which I tasted about a month prior. This was far more impressive last year." -AG, Oct/2021
