A co-fermented blend of 81% Cabernet Franc and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Cabernet Franc Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a small step up over the Dr. Crane Cabernet Franc, but both are incredibly impressive, seamless wines. Deep purple-hued, with a kaleidoscopic array of black raspberries, cassis, spring flowers, incense, and spicy oak, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and a flawlessly balanced, seamless, elegant profile that ranks with the best in the vintage. Give bottles 3-4 years if you can and it will evolve for at least two decades.
