Provenance – Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard – Oakville, Napa Valley 

The nose is fruity, racy and offers a slight concentration, elegance as well as good finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of blackberry, cooked cassis and small notes of wild strawberry, small wild fruits associated with small touches of licorice as well as a hint of Cuben pepper, Zan and an imperceptible hint of dry vegetation (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a good definition, finesse, a slight juiciness as well as a slight mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cassis, black cherry and small notes of fleshy wild berries associated with small touches of wild raspberry, caramelization, dark chocolate, almond as well as small toasted hints and very slight hints of hazelnut. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length.
