2017

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard, in reality a co-ferment of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, is gorgeous. Inky dark fruit, licorice and lavender are given an extra savory kick by the Franc. Racy and super-exotic, this blend works so well. This is one of the most distinctive wines I have tasted from To Kalon in some time, not to mention a positively stunning 2017. Red fruit flavors and floral notes lead into the textured, inviting finish.
