TASTING NOTES:
Inky and floral on the nose with black currant and lead pencil aromas that follow through to a medium body with juicy fruit and a terra-cotta note coming through. Very fine velvety texture. Flavorful and delicious.

For Tor's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard FnA, winemaker Jeff Ames blended fruit from Block A (near the road) and F (from the back of the property), because, according to owner Tor Kenward, "A didn't stand on its own." It does come across as slightly more open-knit and perhaps less concentrated than Tor's other To Kalon bottlings, but that's nit-picking at this quality level. Mixed red and black cherries and ground allspice aromas are joined by loamy earth scents on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate finishes long and richly textured.
