Realm Cellars
Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
From 3L. Spice box and eucalyptus meld with deep red and purple fruit and supportive but resolving tannins. This is in a really sweet spot.

Nov 4th, 2014Happy Father's Day to me. Nearly jet black. Not too heavy or tannic. Earth tones with fruit layering nearly 5-10 seconds later.

Jun 8th, 2019Well, I fired up a couple of fullblood waygu fillets for tonight (and Vanessa made a KILLER polenta), so the competition was tough. This is a terrific cab nevertheless. Classic nose of black fruits, violet, cedar, and black currants with a hint of leather. Not as tannic as I was expecting, but still had enough backbone to keep it interesting. If you have this, Iād suggest waiting a couple of years, as I suspect it will be more interesting once it starts acquiring more secondary flavors. Still a terrific cab!
