Coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, from blocks C2, D2 and B2 planted predominately to clone 4, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Schrader is intensely scented of vibrant blackberries, black plums and cassis, with touches of Indian spices, eucalypt, mocha and tilled black soil plus a waft of oolong tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate comes through with a compelling chocolate-covered cherries character and tons of subtle layers, structured with very firm, very fine-grained tannins and impressive freshness, finishing with epic persistence

Despite the cosmetic flaw, this 2015 wine offers exceptional quality, with bold aromas of blackberry, violets, and espresso. The palate is rich and layered, showcasing ripe dark fruit, velvety tannins, and hints of vanilla and cocoa. Its polished finish reflects the grandeur of the To Kalon vineyard.
