Note di degustazione
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a gorgeous wine that is peaking today. Bright red-toned fruit, plum, blood orange, mint, spice and sweet pipe tobacco lend notable aromatic brightness. Jean Hoefliger navigated the challenges of the vintage expertly. There's a kick of energy on the finish that suggests an addition of acid. The 2015 has aged with aplomb.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon offers good immediacy in its inky blue/purplish fruit, licorice, spice and menthol flavors. In the 2015, most of the appeal is upfront, as the 2015 loses some intensity through the mid-palate and finish, where the fruit tapers off noticeably. Otherwise, the 2015 is very nicely done.
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a textbook example of this world-class site. Offering a big, boisterous nose of black raspberries, cedary spices, incense and candied flowers, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, beautiful fruit, ripe tannin, and a great finish. It’s one sexy beast of a Cabernet Sauvignon that stays balanced and lively, and it’s going to keep for 25 years or more. Along with consultant Michel Rolland, winemaker Jean Hoefliger has produced an incredible number of killer wines in 2014 and 2015. If you’re interested in learning about all the various sites throughout the Valley, this is a good place to start.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard offers up notes of crème de cassis, mulberries, baked cherries and violets with hints of cinnamon stick and anise plus earthy undertones. Very rich, polished and downright sexy in the full-bodied mouth, it delivers wonderfully velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with persistent earth and mineral layers.
