CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Brilliant. Especially with home made beef wellington. Never had a poor bottle from this producer.

Fourth of the blind red wines. Theme was Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux Blend from Oakville, Stags Leap District or generic Napa Valley with professional reviews of 95+.

Dark and deep ruby red. Dark nose with some feminine characteristics, blackberries, truffles and sweet spices. Medium tannins (6.5/10) with a full body. Great acidity and well rounded palate with layers of dark chocolate, black cherries, pencil shavings and cassis. Long and lingering finish. A real treat and would love to see this in a few years. Drink till 2038. (95+)

Rick had this 2 months ago

Rich, powerful and beautifully structured.

Favorite of the night

Schrader vs Sine Qua Non battle Royale tonight!

1.5 hour decant (lots of fine/chunky sediment). An impressive inky ruby red color. On the nose: semi muted nose of black fruit, floral, slight mint, touch of meat, and vanilla Blueberry at the end. Taste: NICE! A smooth, layered, rich medium plus body wine with ripe cherry, spice, plum, minerals, crushed rocks, and a long cinnamon chocolate finish. YUM! Let's see how the SQN does..

As good as it gets for for cab.

At 14.4 m% alcohol this wine is nicely balanced with incredible fruit, structure and length. Has a long life ahead for sure. Very well done
