"A noble expression of premier grand cru Cabernet Sauvignon that could easily compete with some of the finest Bordeaux is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer-To Kalon Vineyard. 2002 was obviously a great vintage for this famed vineyard situated in the Oakville corridor. This offering possesses an inky/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of graphite, smoked herbs, creme de cassis, and new saddle leather. Full-bodied, with magnificent concentration and purity, low acidity, and high but well-integrated tannin, this wine can be approached now, but promises to hit its stride in 4-5 years, and last for 15-20. It is the most profound Cabernet Sauvignon the B & H consortium has yet produced."
