(92 points) Many producers purchase fruit from Andy Beckstoffer's To Kalon Vineyard, but few make a Cabernet as dense and powerful as this one. There's a sizeable market in the US and elsewhere for such a wine, with deep, extracted black fruit and a melange of layered violet, crushed rock, Chambord, oak vanillin and cocoa powder. Remarkably, the crunchy acidity preserves the palate from all of that decadence. 88% new French oak.
