The O.G. Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes and 1.5 hours. Medium body. Surprisingly agile and without the usual, massive Napa Cab footprint on the palate. Fairly tight core of root beer and dark cherry that wasn't unraveling. This was obviously an infanticide episode but someone insisted. Delightful and tantalizing intro but, (currently) in the end, mostly sizzle and no steak. Maybe things roll diffy in a 15-spot jiffy but doubtful. The sexy intro/ambiance/influencer/wannabe vibe now doesn't translate into relevance a decade or two in. And if this was throwing everything into the pot now? Still comes up short for the price that is being commanded. 'Scuse me while I yell at some clouds. Lately things just don't seem the same. The grapes from this historic/unique vineyard are but pawns in some new, multi-millionaire/billionaire game. Gimmie some 70’s/80’s Mondavi Reserve Cabs instead porfa. Keep the Opus bleep. C’est la vie. 5.14.26. — 2 days ago

The owners use the $$$ for all their trademark litigation over the “To Kalon” name

Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Opened and got about a 20-30 min decant. The nose on this was amazing and it literally filled the room upon pouring. The flavors were accessible from the start and delightful. Less dense/heavy than the Abreu but not a lightweight by any means. Again dark fruits and a finish that lasted. Was the WOTN by many being easy going but delightful. The Abreu made you think (and was my WOTN), this just made you happy. — 2 months ago
