Wine Description
The Story
Our limited bottling of To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the prestige and grand terroir of this world class vineyard. It is a wine that truly represents Robert Mondavi’s vision of perfection and quest for excellence.
Genevieve Janssens - Director of Winemaking
Reflecting the terroir of one of Napa Valley’s most esteemed vineyards, the second vintage of our To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex interplay of aromas and flavors. Much of the fruit came from older, dry-farmed sections of To Kalon. As winemaker Genevieve Janssens says, “It’s not a baby.” The vines’ well-established roots foster an elegant minerality that underlies rich aromas of black plum mingled with notes of black olive, tobacco and rosewood. The wine’s generous black fruit flavors are extracted and very concentrated. Finely integrated tannins are silky and sophisticated, leading to a lengthy finish that resonates like a bow drawn across the strings of a cello—a masterful coda to a beautiful symphony.
