Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer to Kalon 2022

Originating from the historic, warm-bench alluvial soils of Oakville's Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, the 2022 release captures the intense concentration and ripe power characteristic of this low-yielding vintage, balanced by TOR's signature structural finesse.

The nose is brooding, rich, and headily aromatic, surging with warm crème de cassis, black plum, and blueberry compote, seamlessly framed by notes of roasted espresso, dark cocoa powder, cigar box, and an underlying streak of crushed graphite. On the palate, the wine delivers an immediate hit of dramatic volume and plush texture. Massive layers of dark, jammy fruits fill the mid-palate, encased in fine-grained, ripe, and coating tannins that lend substantial presence without feeling harsh. A lift of dark plum acidity brings energy to the finish, concluding with impressive length, savory warmth, dried herbs, and lingering crushed-rock minerality.
