In the heart of the valley, To Kalon vineyard lies against the hills of the Oakville bench where lean, well-drained soils and the ideal climate foster complex flavors in our Sauvignon blanc and Sémillon. To Kalon means ‘highest beauty’ in Greek and the vineyard surrounds the Robert Mondavi Winery. It is one of Napa Valley’s oldest and most respected vineyards. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon are natural partners in wine: Sauvignon Blanc providing intense, vibrant fruit and acidity and Sémillon rounding out the body with its rich, creamy texture.

Pts. James Suckling "A lovely, aromatic nose of peach, jasmine, oyster shell, lily and wet stone. Medium-to full-bodied with vibrant acidity. Succulent. Crisp and expressive, with slightly saline character to the mineral notes. Delicious. Drink or hold." - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, September 21, 2022
