Note di degustazione
Looking at the three 2010s, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings reveals a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a great nose of pure cassis and assorted blue fruits as well as spring flowers, chocolate, and violets. Coming all from Clone 7, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, elegant, Bordeaux-like beauty is clearly in its early to prime drink window, and it's well worth opening bottles now.

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The Three Kings boasts off-the-charts richness and a stunningly majestic perfume of black, blue and red fruits, licorice, flowers and no evidence of oak. Full-bodied and opulent with a 50-second finish, this profound Cabernet Sauvignon should age effortlessly for 25+ years. For a number of years, this has been one of most impressive portfolios in Napa Valley, and as one might expect, the 2010s are outrageous offerings. Tel. (707) 445-0311
(14.7% alcohol; from old Clone 7 vines): Full ruby-red. Crushed blueberry, crushed rock and violet complemented by menthol and pepper. Dense, rich and lush, with an intriguing saline quality to the dark berry, mineral and bitter chocolate flavors. Rich, broad and deep but youthfully closed now, finishing with a powerful tannic spine that will require at least several years of cellaring. Outstanding potential here.
A new addition to the lineup, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The Three Kings is intense, dark and powerful. Tar, scorched earth, incense and licorice are some of the notes that inform this brooding, inward Cabernet. The 2010 Three Kings doesn't appear to have the pedigree of the very best Carter wines, but it is gorgeous just the same.
