Wine review: 2014 Tor Kenward Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Ottawa, ON

December 2023

TOR 2014 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon – Absolutely incredible! As close to a wine utopia as you could imagine with its complexity, intensity, harmonious structure/texture and never ending length. If you’re not familiar with TOR or To Kalon Vineyards in Napa’s Oakville AVA, put this winery on your must try list as a great benchmark for consistent top rated (including regular 100 point) scoring wines.

The 2014 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet was limited to 8 barrels (200 cases) from a great vintage that showcases the magic of To Kalon Vineyards fruit with unparalleled complexity, structure, and overall harmony. Regarded as one of Napa’s First Growth vineyards, To Kalon Vineyards wines consistently show impeccably balanced wines that can age decades whilst retaining their great structure and elegance. With several years of age, the 2014 is in a great place now and will shine bright for decades to come. Tasted December 2023. 99 points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvino.ca
