The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard (readers may remember the 2002 merited a 100-point score) has a beautiful blueberry and blackberry fruit note, a hint of incense, charcoal, an opaque purple color, full-bodied opulence and again that first-growth quality, richness, complexity and intensity. I’m not sure this is as compelling as the 2002, but it’s not far away. This is a magnificent, multi-dimensional, skyscraper-like Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 15-20 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker, 97 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is endowed with a huge center of fruit, not to mention fabulous overall balance. Rich and deeply expressive, the 2012 emerges from the glass with blue\/black fruit, graphite, menthol, white pepper and cloves. There is a lot going on in the glass, but the 2012 is going to require time to fully come together. Nevertheless, it is dazzling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Antonio Galloni, 95-97 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA red with blackberry, black currant and rose leaf character.
