Winemaker Notes

Kalon is seductive and elegant, offering the best in a Napa Cabernet. A heady display of black fruits, exotic spice box, and coffee house aromas leading to a generous mouthful of currants, black cherry and hints of licorice. Although drinking remarkably well now, it is a perfect choice for the collector’s cellar. This wine will age well over the next 10-12 years.

Professional Ratings

  • 95
    From what may be Napa Valley’s most famous vineyard, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is a serious winner. Aromas of camphor, charcoal, barbecue smoke, burning embers, creme de cassis and spice box jump from the glass of this full-bodied, concentrated, impressively endowed wine. Its silky tannins, majestic personality and explosive complexity confirm that this is a first-growth vineyard. Drink this 2008 over the next 15-20 years. Rating 93-95.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Home to some of the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignon in America, Napa Valley’s Oakville district stretches across the center of Napa's valley floor and foothills between the Vaca and Mayacamas Mountains. This AVA is home to the legendary To Kalon Vineyard and Martha's Vineyard, as well as many powerhouse wineries including Screaming Eagle, Silver Oak, Robert Mondavi, Opus One, Far Niente and Groth.

The climate is generally warm and agreeable, resulting in year after year of favorable vintages. Summer days see a gentle tug of war between warmer inland air and the cool air coming in from the San Pablo Bay, creating an ideal environment to grow red varieties. Oakville's diverse soils, namely ancient sea bedrock, clay and gravel, are well-drained, and perfect for high-caliber viticulture.

Cabernet here is often bottled varietally but is also popular in Bordeaux Blends. Oakville wines are known for their silky, sensual textures, structured tannins, dark and brooding fruit and lovely aromatics. These age-worthy and prestigious wines are favored by collectors throughout the world.
