The 2015 Reserve To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon today displays beautiful aromatics of red and dark plum, sweet tobacco, blackberry, and black currant that lead into flavors of black currant, dark plum, tea leaves, a touch of sweet tobacco, a savory earthy note, and subtle molasses at the end. The wine shows nice concentration and density on the palate. The tannins are mouthcoating with a little grip to them, while still fine and smooth. This will be a long-lived wine that will age incredibly well.

This is the fifth vintage of our To Kalon Vineyard-designated Reserve. When Robert Mondavi chose the To Kalon Vineyard in west Oakville as the home for his new winery in 1966 he remarked that, "It was a vineyard with a distinguished history and a magical nature. Ideal soils, sunlight, and rain to my eye, the vineyard was a treasure." Those sentiments were re-confirmed when the To Kalon Vineyard was named the Vineyard of the Year by the California State Farm Bureau in 2011. Our Reserve is blended from the finest blocks within To Kalon.
