Wine Review: This opaque and dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Amici opens with a tobacco and black cherry bouquet with hints of toasted coconut, milk chocolate, and bay leaf. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is beautifully balanced, super silky, and polished. The flavor profile is a black cherry and cocoa blend with notes of cassis and graphite. We also detected hints of stewed red plum, oak, and green tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and refined medium tannins linger and last for a very long time. We would pair this Cab with a porterhouse steak or beef bourguignon. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The 2023 Amici Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, concentrated expression of this legendary Oakville vineyard. The nose opens with intense notes of blackberry brandy cordial and cocoa powder, signaling the wine’s depth and richness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with layers of graphite and baker’s chocolate framed by firm, structured tannins. The finish is long and authoritative, capturing both the gravitas and pedigree of To Kalon in another phenomenal representation of this elegant vintage.
