Purlieu 2017 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The 2017 To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon proves once again the extraordinary beauty and consistency of this legendary old-vine vineyard. A dark fruit and earth-driven nose hints at the profusion of sweet amarena cherry, black licorice and forest floor notes waiting on the palate. Juicy plums and sweet spices linger through the endless finish, while fine-grained tannins promise further evolution to those with uncommon patience and self-restraint.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 95+ Points
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard offers up a beautiful perfume of fruit cake, preserved plums, potpourri and blackberry preserves with nuances of exotic spices and fragrant earth. The full-bodied, decadently fruited palate is nicely juxtaposed by fantastic freshness and plush tannins, supporting loads of black fruit and earthy layers, finishing long and spicy."
