2017 Realm "Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Bid on this bottle of 2017 Realm "Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (97JD, 97JS, 97RP, 95VN). Wine Advocate: "'We had half the fruit in at To Kalon when the fires hit in 2017, ' winemaker Benoit Touquette informed me. 'That's all we used.' Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard prances out of the glass with classically opulent scents of crème de cassis, baked plums, Morello cherries and mulberries plus nuances of rose oil, spice cake, bouquet garni and dusty soil. Full-bodied, the palate is decadently showy with loads of exotic spice and floral accents lifting the rich, black fruit preserves flavors. It has a well-judged, solid frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully earthy. (LPB) 97+" (10/2020)
