THE VINEYARD: To Kalon Vineyard is situated on prime benchland in west Oakville. The well-drained soils combine with ideal sun exposure to yield rich, complex flavors and flawless fruit maturity. The Reserve is blended from the finest blocks, meticulously crafted by keeping each block or sub-block separate through fermentation and aging.
THE VINTAGE: The 2018 vintage provided ideal weather conditions for an excellent fruit set, with slow, even ripening for the perfect balance of freshness and maximum flavor development. The fruit for The Reserve was hand-harvested before aging in French oak barrels (100% first use). The final blend was assembled through repeated tasting trials over 21 months of barrel aging.
