Realm Cellars Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet offers notes of red and black fruits, an extra dimension in the midpalate that Realm calls" baby fat," and powerful tannins. Overall opulence but with such class and pedigree. From the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, sourced from blocks near Highway 29, toward the back of the site, closer to the Mayacamas. One-third aged in concrete, and the remaining is aged 20 months in 70% new French oak. This site's characteristic loamy earth and black fruit is evident from the first sniff to the last sip, leading with beautifully fragrant dark berry fruit, ironstone mineral character, and mineral-accented tannins, with excellent mid-palate density and weight, while remaining incredibly light, energetic, and almost bouant. Finishing quote long with great mineral richness and loamy earth intensity. Really a very beautifully built wine capable of long-term cellaring. Based on 98% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 20 months in 75% new French oak, the 2023 Cabernet Franc Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is another absolutely sensational wine offering red, blue, and black fruits with spring flowers, crayon, and violet nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It has a style all its own and shines for its complexity, nuances, and elegance. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard is another captivating, hauntingly beautiful wine from Realm. More than anything else, I am so impressed with how elegant the tannins are in a site that has mostly produced huge, potent wines. Crème de cassis, menthol, licorice, cloves and lavender all build in the glass. Creamy contours wrap it all together. This is quite simply a monumental To Kalon.
