WINE DESCRIPTION
Cliff Lede Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a highly sought-after wine that showcases the expertise of its producer. Located on the western Oakville bench, the renowned Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard possesses gravelly loam soils rich in minerals sourced from the volcanic Mayacamas Mountains and the alluvial fan of the Napa River. The vineyard features low organic matter and excellent drainage, which imparts vigor-reducing conditions to the vines, resulting in small, concentrated berries that are perfect for crafting intensely concentrated wines. Meticulous winemaking techniques are employed to ensure that the wine expresses the full potential of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The result is a wine that exudes elegance and complexity, with rich flavors of dark fruits, velvety tannins, and a long, lingering finish. This wine is a true testament to the artistry and passion behind its creation.
