TASTING NOTES
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
A powerhouse wine, this iconic Cabernet Sauvignon shows the complexity and intensity of our historic To Kalon vineyard, with mouth-filling flavors of fleshy, blackberry, black plum and black currant fruits, savory herbs, black and white pepper, and cardamom spice structured by generous, well-integrated tannins and bright acidity. An iconic, showstopper wine.
VINEYARD NOTES
When Robert Mondavi chose the To Kalon Vineyard as the home for his new winery in 1966 he remarked that “It was a vineyard with a distinguished history and a magical nature. Ideal soils, sunlight, and rain—to my eye, the vineyard was a treasure.” Those sentiments were re-confirmed when the To Kalon Vineyard was named ‘Vineyard of the Year’ by the California State Farm Bureau, and the site continues to hold a special grand cru status in the Napa Valley. The To Kalon Vineyard lies in west Oakville where the low fertility, well-drained soils combine with optimal sun exposure to yield rich, complex flavors and impeccable fruit maturity.
