The prized Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard sets the standard for Napa Valley Cabernet Franc with classic aromatics and wonderful intensity. The nose shows wild bramble and garrigue aromas brightened by rich purple fruit and flowers. In the mouth, sun-kissed plums and cherries meet dried thyme and earthy notes in a silken alliance, gliding smoothly into a clean and refreshing finish. This wine’s exquisite density and texture call into question which Cabernet is king in Napa Valley.
