The fruit for this wine came predominantly from our To Kalon Vineyard, which is located on prime benchland in the Oakville District appellation. The well-drained, low-fertility soils and optimal sun exposure here enable the development of rich, complex flavors and impeccable phenolic maturity.

Pts. James Suckling "This supple, sexy wine sourced mainly from the famous To Kalon vineyard is soaked in red and black fruit with savory black olive and bay accents, but it's the velvety, relaxed texture of fine-grained tannins that really captures your interest. Drink or hold." - Jim Gordon, JamesSuckling.com, February 8, 2024
