Justice Poetic Justice Proprietary Red Beckstoffer To Kalon 2016
Best be sitting down when you take your first sip -- this is a rollercoaster!! Justice is a high-powered, no expense spared brand made by the brilliant Tim Milos (Google him for all of his huge scores over the years, including several 100-pointers) and it’s a blockbuster. Best known for his work with Immortal Estate (formerly Hidden Ridge) Tim just knows how to coax world-class fruit. TO-KALON, of course, is a hallowed vineyard famous for its plush, succulent, and downright sexy Cabernet, and this delivers big time. This is the best fruit money can buy when it comes to Napa Valley and you just don't see it priced like this! In fact, by contract, Andy Beckstoffer does not allow wines bearing the Beckstoffer To Kalon name to sell under $175. NOT TODAY!
Tim Milos is the first to say the cab franc from To Kalon is his secret weapon. Many top winemakers would agree, as they covet the small amounts of cab franc they can get from this site. Just ask Tor Kenward, Benoit Touquette, Jean Hoefliger or Philippe Melka! Grown in the back portion of the To Kalon vineyard (the E-block), this is where the alluvial soils are the most complex and gravelly, being closer to the canyon where the soils originated. This section of the vineyard also backs right up to the MacDonald property which is the newest cult wine from the family's prime parcel. Needless to say, this has it all and it delivers on every level.
THE PRICE! Just amazing...please don’t miss, we have only a handful of cases to sell today!
PAIRING IDEAS: Lamb chops. Super easy, grill ‘em, broil them, whatever’s easy, whip up an herby chimichurri (throw in a bit of rosemary along with the parsley and garlic) and you are good to go!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: “Let there be light..sound..drums, guitar...owwww!!!...let there be ROCK!!!” -- AC/DC. Let's get "Thunderstruck", because that is how we are feeling with today's brilliant offer!
