Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The G.T.O. 2019 Carter Cellars

Professional reviews

Jeb Dunnuck (98)

Beautiful crème de cassis, candied violets, spring flowers, and graphite notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The G.T.O and, as with the other To Kalon releases, it brings that classic opulence and decadence that the vineyard is known for while also staying weightless, perfectly balanced, and incredibly pure. The tannins here are present yet polished and perfectly ripe, it has a notable sense of purity and freshness, and the finish keeps you coming back to the glass. Drink bottles any time over the coming 20+ years.

Available only in magnums, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The GTO rumbles along, its carburetor tuned just-so, full-bodied and concentrated, framed by velvety (throaty?) tannins. Marked by scents of lovely dark-fruit notes of cassis and black cherries, plus hints of loam, this concentrated wine will be a treat to drive over the next two decades, a classic in the making?
