2015年のリザーブ・トゥ・カロン・カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンは現在、赤と濃いプラム、甘いタバコ、ブラックベリー、ブラックカラントの美しいアロマを示し、ブラックカラント、ダークプラム、茶葉、甘いタバコのタッチ、風味豊かな土の香り、そして最後にほのかな糖蜜。ワインは口に含むと素晴らしい凝縮感と密度を示します。タンニンは口を覆うような感じで、少しグリップ感があるが、それでもきめ細かく滑らかである。これは信じられないほどよく熟成する長命なワインになります。

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.

Awards & Accolades

Jeb Dunnuck
A different beast, yet in the same ballpark qualitatively, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon just jumps out of the glass with a huge nose of sage brush, chocolate, violets, tobacco, and assorted sweet black and blue fruits. Showing the more exuberant, sexy style of the vintage, it's full-bodied and concentrated, yet has terrific tannins as well as length. It's a beautiful wine from this estate that will drink well for 3 decades or more.
