Napa Valley.
One-hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon is going a little muted at this stage, though it nonetheless impresses with cassis, redcurrant jelly, cinnamon stick, rose hip tea and dusty soil with cigar box and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied, rich and powerful with firm, grainy tannins and balanced freshness, finishing long and savory/meaty. 600 cases were made. September 2018 Drink: 2021-2047 WA 96

Napa Valley.
This has the makings of a great classic from Napa Valley. There is lots of structure as well as deep, concentrated, rich fruit, a heady perfume of black currants, licorice, spring flowers and toasty oak, a full-bodied, powerful, well-delineated style, and terrific purity as well as aging potential. Still young and tightly wound, but loaded, this 2010 will benefit from a few years of bottle age, and should keep for 20+ years. Kudos to Vine Hill Ranch. October 2013 WA 94+
