In Greek, To Kalon means “most beautiful.” Within the Napa Valley’s Oakville AVA, this vineyard is widely considered a “Grand Cru” of California. We get our fruit from Andy Beckstoffer, a legendary grower in the Napa Valley who owns a large portion of this prestigious vineyard. Our single vineyard designate will be released along with our 2011 wines under the Purlieu label.
Each individual vine’s needs are uniquely tended to in To Kalon. The soil is mostly clay loam, which drains well and stresses the vines, thereby producing smaller and more concentrated grape clusters.
The resultant wines are phenomenally rich, dense and powerful with an incredibly layered, silky texture; they are alluring in their youth yet always reward patient cellaring.

| Rating | RP 99 - The deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard leaps wantonly from the glass like a rock star doing a stage dive, displaying bold layers of crushed black and red cherries, cassis and wild blueberries scents plus suggestions of cinnamon stick, star anise, sandalwood, oolong tea and potpourri with faint wafts of candied violets and molten chocolate. Full-bodied, concentrated and hedonistically perfumed in the mouth, it possesses a myriad of black fruits with a firm, velvety texture and very long, very spicy finish. RP |
