"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard charges out of the glass with bold notions of baked plums, warm cassis and blackberry pie, plus hints of camphor, dusty soil, Chinese five spice and garrigue. The palate is full-bodied and full-on concentrated, revealing powerful black fruit and exotic spice flavors with a plush texture and just enough freshness, finishing on a persistent anise note. Classic To Kalon."
