N: class. Breeding. Smells expensive. Deep but not over the top. Pencil shavings. Peeking florals. More as it opens.

P: silky. Perfect sweet cherry fruit. Hint of bitter. Delicious. But elegant. Long. Juicy.

First time trying this. Pretty good. Honeysuckle stood out on the nose with lemony mint. Flavors of peach and pear with solid acidity. — 3 years ago

So we are tasting the 2007 side by side with the 2005. Both decanted and both are singing. This is a difficult call and I am giving both a 9.6 rating, not willing to rank one above the other. Deep and complex flavor profile. Incredibly smooth. Fantastic wine — a month ago

First time having this bottling. A decently made 22. It was smooth and elegant but lacked a bit of depth & character that day.

2022 Napa Cabernet’s more than less boil down to when did you harvest, before or after the 10 days of intense heat during the harvest window.

Pop and pour with some Hog Island oysters. A majestic medium straw color. On the nose: lemon, pear, nuts, pineapple, crushed stone. Taste: a dry, creamy wine with apple, grapefruit, saline, lemon, and mineral-white pepper-lime rind medium plus finish. YUM! this is from the I block To Kalon vineyard...suppose to be some of the oldest Sav Blanc vines in N. America. — 9 months ago

Dark inky in color with a short reddish/ brick rim.

Strong nose of cooked black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry, and still fruity on the palate, with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, tobacco, cedar, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, cola and mediterranean spices.

Long finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 22 year old Bordeaux blend from Beckstoffer Vineyard in Napa Valley is drinking gorgeously now. Rich and fruit forward, extremely complex and engaging. Well balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Still drinking at its peak, although will not get better from this point on, as it feels like it is at the end of its peak.

I did not decant it, and let it open up in the bottle. Delicious after an hour, and a great sipping wine.

A superb experience at this point in time.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Drank like a Zinfandel with high alcohol, candied, fruit, and medium plus tannins. Hard to identify thIs as Cabernet despite the phenomenal pedigree — 3 years ago

Decant for sediment(some fine/cloudy sediment). A sublime dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: dark plum, mint, licorice, smoked meat, floral, wet cedar. Taste: smooth, creamy wine with subtle blackberry/plum, cedar, pepper, graphite, and a dark bitter chocolate dry medium plus finish. Drink em if you got em, fruit is fading....nice price for a Beckstoffer To Kalon. — 4 years ago
