Classic Beckstoffer To Kalon brambly blackberry and dusty earth. The best and most expressive nose of the trio.

Really enjoying this. Opened very tight - dark dark cherries up front with a hint of caramel on the back end. Now that it’s opened - loving the infamous “fist in a velvet glove” taste - high high end good production feel all the way.

An absolutely massive inky black wine. Blackberry liqueur, bay leaf, pepper and charcoal wrapped in gobs of glycerin.

The Debate is a special three-pack, made up of three Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons from three of the most famous Beckstoffer vineyards in Napa Valley: Missouri-Hopper, To Kalon, and Dr. Crane Vineyards. These three wines were made by Consulting Winemaker, Jean Hoefliger. Utilizing three different vineyards with the same winemaking techniques, these wines show the true distinction of terroir.
