“The 2023 Tor Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard stands as a benchmark of purity and power, capturing the iconic character of this legendary Oakville site. It opens with a vivid bouquet of ripe blackberries, blueberries, and cassis, layered with violets, spices and hints of black olive that offer depth and complexity. Subtle undertones of crushed gravel and graphite add a refined mineral nuance to the aromatic profile. On the palate, this wine is richly textured and full-bodied, delivering a seamless blend of concentration and finesse. Silky tannins support a core of vibrant, pure Cabernet fruit, while a bright thread of acidity provides lift and balance. The finish is long and harmonious, echoing with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality. With its impressive structure and clarity, this wine offers immediate appeal yet promises rewarding development over time.” - International Wine Report

“A gorgeous expression of this site, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard delivers notes of sweet cassis, currants, flowery incense, graphite, and tobacco. Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Block F and aged 21 months in 76% new French oak, it's full-bodied, ripe, expansive, and seamless on the palate, with that classic To Kalon sexiness and texture. This comes from further back up the hill on the west side of the site and is all 337 clone. Drink this sexy beast any time over the coming 20-25 years. Drink 2025-2050.” - Jeb Dunnuck

“Plenty of power, dark fruit and structure in this tightly wound but velvety wine from a first-class vineyard. Deep in dark chocolate, iron, cocoa, black cherries and black currants, finishing with a fresh, silky, balanced feel. So focused and linear, laced with fine-grained tannins. From the slightly more elevated west end of the vineyard in Block F. Drink now or hold.” - James Suckling
