2021 To Kalon Vineyard Co. Napa Valley Oakville Highest Beauty





2021 To Kalon Vineyard Co. Napa Valley Oakville Highest Beauty..$249.99
An intense wine from a super-concentrated vintage, this is totally loaded with ripe fruits, spicy oak and generous savory, minty flavors, wrapped in firm, fine-grained tannins. Black olives, black currants, earthy and sage-like notes. So dark, deep and age-worthy, with great balance for a wine so full-bodied. Drinkable now but best from 2030.
Rated 99/100 James Suckling
Top 100 Wines of 2024

A richly fruited version, offering boysenberry, black currant and blackberry puree notes that stream through, yet this stays reserved in style, with a remarkable sense of polish. Loam, licorice root and singed alder elements emerge steadily through the long finish. A lovely late twang of iron adds to the range. Drink now through 2044. 650 cases made.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator
