Gorgeous tobacco, chocolate, damp earth, and assorted black and blue fruits emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard CCS. Concentrated, fullbodied, and awesomely textured, it shares a lot of similarities with the 2018 and it's going to be up there on the scale once bottled.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (from Beckstoffer’s To Kalon vineyard, produced from clone 4 grown on the C1 block), this barrel sample of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard casts an opaque purple-black color and fragrant notes of violets, underbrush and Indian spices over a core of blackcurrant pastilles, baked plums and Morello cherries, plus a hint of spearmint. The full-bodied palate is full-on decadent, jam-packed with plush textured black fruit preserves and finishing long and harmonious.
