Note di degustazione
The 2016 Cabernet Franc Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is inky purple-colored and just about perfect in every way. Offering a kaleidoscope of blueberries, black cherries, forest floor, graphite, licorice and Asian spices on the nose, it's opulent and hedonistic on the palate, with a powerful, layered style. It's a big wine, yet it's beautifully delineated, pure, elegant and graceful, all while carrying incredible intensity of flavor. An estate I wasn’t familiar with, I was blown away by the wines of Macauley Vineyard. After doing some research, I found out that the wines are made by Kirk Venge, so mystery solved. These are awesome wines and savvy readers need to leap on this bandwagon.

A barrel sample, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Franc Beckstoffer To Kalon has a red and black currants, black cherries and mulberries-scented nose with hints of pencil shavings, lavender and earth. Very big, full, rich, opulent and spicy in the mouth, it has firm, velvety tannins and a very long, perfumed finish.
