Our anniversary tradition- To Kalon

Enjoyed tasting rhones in paso all weekend, but it’s hard to beat to kalon cab. I think parker totally underrated this cab (92 pts?!). Spectator and enthusiast (who aren’t as inflated) gave it 94 and 97 respectively. I think this is a perfect time to drink this style of wine. Toasty oak, chocolate covered blackberry, licorice, some spice. Typical to kalon structure. Great, but not as amazing as the 2014 macauley to kalon cab franc (that’s probably my wine of 2018- easily top 3 in my life)

Huge wine. New French oak all the way! Needs to lay down for a long time but you can tell that this is going to be an outstanding wine some day
