2022 Macauley Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, 750ml - $250

Napa Valley

The 2022 Macauley Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of quiet power and timeless elegance, born from one of Napa Valley’s most revered vineyard sites. To Kalon — meaning “greatest beauty” — has been producing extraordinary Cabernet since the 19th century. Nestled in the heart of Oakville, its well-drained alluvial soils and perfect sun exposure create fruit of significant purity and grace. In the glass, this wine gleams with a royal garnet hue, glistening like a polished gemstone. The aromatics are luxurious and alluring — rich Belgian chocolate, soft hints of maple, notes of pine needles reminiscent of a high alpine forest, a whisper of roasted espresso and pain grille. It draws you in slowly and keeps you coming back for more. It’s comforting, indulgent, and quietly captivating. The full bodied palate is pure silk — delicate dark fruits of blackberry and black cherry dance alongside gentle spice, all wrapped in a velvet finish that seems to go on and on. As the layers unveil themselves, note the aromatic themes from above. Enjoy the dark chocolate, persistent red fruit and medium roast coffee beans. There’s a quiet romance to this wine. It’s a wine made for memories.
