2016 Is The Inaugural Vintage
~ As Rare As Rare Gets ~
Name your favorite winemaker, now place him/her making a wine from a vineyard you seek/covet or just have heard about. Andy Erickson ( in this wine's case ) has delivered perhaps one of his most uniquely composed wines I have ever tasted. The result is a wine comprised of all his wine ingenuity coupled with the beautiful fruit from the To Kalon vineyard.
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
Tasting Notes
A colossal wine, with a dense, layered core of black currant, blackberry and fig fruit paste flavors, steeped with sagebrush, tar, loam and tobacco accents. A bolt of warm cast iron runs through the finish, providing structure and support that should allow this to cruise for two decades in the cellar. A terrific combination of intense, modern, clearly defined fruit, with an old-school grounding in terroir.
About The Wine
To inspire his vision for Highest Beauty, map in hand, Andy Erickson tasted his way through 56 individually fermented blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon from To Kalon Vineyard. To connect flavor and texture with soil and sun, he then walked the blocks, fine tuning his selections. Along with being a winemaker, Andy is also a highly experienced, hands-on winery designer. Leaving no detail to chance, he helped build the fermenters used to craft this small-lot wine.
The 2016 Highest Beauty opens with delicious blackberry, cassis, and blackberry compote notes on the nose. The palate is a harmonious dance between dark, luxuriously juicy cherry and bright, balancing acidity supported by fine, strong tanning, all leading to a long, lingering finish.
Blend: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, .5% Mixed Varietals
Boxed in a beautiful black case.

2018 ALEJANDRO BULGHERONI ESTATE
DR. CRANE VINEYARD
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Possibly the wine of the vintage, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is another incredible wine from this estate that has everything: stunning complexity, full-bodied richness, flawless balance, and incredible length. Revealing a dense purple color as well as Graves-like notes of blackcurrants, cold fireplace, graphite, chocolate, and smoked tobacco, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, flawless balance, and ultra-fine tannins. Based on 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc that was brought up 20 months in 70% new French oak, this thrilling 2018 offers pleasure today yet will evolve for 30-40+ years. Hats off to the team at Alejandro Bulgheroni!

Lisa Perroti-Brown
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coming from Rutherford, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon g3 displays a deep garnet-purple color. It bursts from the glass with bombastic scents of crème de cassis, blueberry pie, Black Forest cake and mocha with hints of star anise, rose oil and woodsmoke plus a touch of lavender. Full-bodied, decadently fruited and super concentrated in the mouth, it features a lively backbone cutting through the dense black fruit layers with a velvety texture, leading to a beautiful floral lift on the long finish.

100 Points Yet Again!
Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
Jeb Dunnuck 100 Points
The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet-like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It's going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!
The Wine Advocate 99+ Points
Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Dominus slowly emerges from the glass with profound notes of blackcurrant cordial, ripe black plums, boysenberries and Black Forest cake with hints of violets, star anise, cracked black pepper, raspberry leaves and pencil lead, plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers impactful black fruit layers, creating a beguiling sense of richness that is beautifully countered by invigorating freshness and great poise, framed by super ripe, plush tannins and beautiful tension, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note and, finally, lots of mineral sparks. For all that it is at the moment, one cannot help but feel that this 2018 is holding something back. Give it a good five years in bottle, at least, and then get set for what I suspect will be a mind-blowing transformation over the next 30 years+.

Lastly, there are a tiny 532 magnums of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Triniceros, a blend put together by famed consultant Michel Rolland. It's possibly closest in style to the Plyspline release and has incredible dark fruits (cassis, currants) as well as notes of graphite, toasted spice, chocolate, white flowers, and lead pencil shavings. A wine that builds incrementally on the palate, it has ripe, velvety tannins, an expansive texture, fabulous mid-palate depth, and the balance and class to drink well today yet also evolve for 20-30 years.

THE DIPLOMAT
RED BLEND
96 Points The Wine Advocate
Jayson Woodbridge calls this a “21st Century Claret.” The blend is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a good dollop of Merlot and a dash of Petite Sirah. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat comes skipping out with bright notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, over a profound core of warm cassis, hoisin and blackberry pie, with wafts of licorice and unsmoked cigars. The generous, full-bodied palate is soft and plush, featuring a powerful black fruit core with a lively backbone and loads of layers on the earthy finish.

Showcasing nearly 90-year-old vines, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer is made from around 92% Cabernet Sauvignon with a small proportion of unknown red varieties interplanted. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts with flamboyant notes of redcurrant preserves, cassis, dark chocolate, violets and red roses, plus fragrant hints of Indian spices and camphor, with a suggestion of iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is fabulously velvety, delivering beautiful freshness and loads of spicy layers, finishing very long.

2018 HIGHEST BEAUTY
TO KALON VINEYARD Co
VINEYARD
H.W. Crabb came to California looking for gold but stayed to become one of the pioneers of Napa Valley winemaking. He named his estate To Kalon Vineyard, Greek for Highest Beauty, because of the lush bounty it provided. Soon, his wines became renowned around the world. And over the last 150 years, the vineyard’s consistent fine quality has made it one of the most coveted in the world.
Sited between the sheltering Vaca and Mayacamas mountain ranges deep in the valley, the vineyard has well-drained, gravelly soil that allows the vines to root deeply to find precious moisture and nutrients. The broad diurnal temperature shifts and reliable sun, wind, and fog provide the ideal blend of growth and rest for complex flavor development.
VINTAGE
2018 was a spectacular growing season from start to finish. February brought a healthy dose of rain, fully replenishing the soils. Sunshine and mild temperatures followed, setting up nearly ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set. Light rains in early October, followed by breezy warm days, allowed the vineyards to fully mature, and the grape harvest felt like the smoothest of landings.

Youthful and seductive now, it will bring much reward to the patient collector.

Coming from the Fairest Creature label and a more value-priced release (at least in the context of this range), the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is blended from the leftover lots from the Winemaker Series and blended by Michel Rolland. There are roughly 520 cases produced, and it's unquestionably worth checking out, offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and spice. This plump, sexy, expansive beauty has ripe tannins, no hard edges, and is ideal for drinking over the coming 10-15 years.

THE WINE ADVOCATE 100 POINTS
2019 EISELE VINEYARD
Cabernet Sauvignon
The magnificent 2019 vintage was born under the best possible conditions, with an abundance of welltimed rain and sunshine with no excess. Intense and sophisticated, the wine unveils with deep aromas of blue fruits, Bigarreau cherries and violets followed by subtle notes of rosemary and pencil lead. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, with incredible definition and finesse. Perfectly ripe and tight-knit tannins support the youthful energy of the fruit, layered with wild blueberry coulis. The very long finish lingers with mineral notes of graphite and volcanic soil, laced with aromas of Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon and wilted roses. The 2019 is beautiful, evocative and complex. Still, so much has yet to be revealed with bottle age. This is the quintessence of the Eisele Vineyard terroir.
THE WINE ADVOCATE REVIEW
Deep purple-black in color, the nose of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon slowly unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of violets and roses over a core of kirsch, boysenberries and cassis, plus hints of redcurrant jelly and menthol, emerging into wafts of pencil lead and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, featuring very firm, wonderfully ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the vivacious, tightly wound black and red fruit layers, finishing long and mineral laced. It's a stunning, evocative, singular wine that so beautifully captures the long, slow-maturing grace of the 2019 vintage.

2019 PAS DE CHEVAL
Purple-black that fades to a crimson rim, deeply pigmented and staining the glass upon swirling. A volley of warm blackberries, Chambord, graphite, and a hint of cedar aromas add complex blueberry, sweet spice, pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and espresso notes with a touch of air. Even before the first sip, it’s obvious this is a big wine. Power and energy pulse through the supple grip of the super-fine tannins, with a core so concentrated it seems to generate its own gravity.

2019 PAS DE CHEVAL
INTERMEZZO
Dense ruby-black with an electric amaranthine rim. Viscous and loaded with loganberry, black currant, and spearmint aromas that evolve slowly to reveal complex notes of licorice, cardamom, violet, and wild sage. On entry, the muscularity is immediately evident. Equal measures of perfectly ripe fruit and savory herbal flavors are bound by supple, tongue-coating tannins. Highly concentrated at its core, this is a robust and highly complex wine, seamlessly integrating notes of blackberry, cassis, licorice, tilled earth, mint, and herbes de Provence. The finish builds in a resonant crescendo of fruit, earth, and spice that commands rapt attention. It’s raw power cloaked in refinement, and it will only get better. Drink now–2049.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2019 Scarecrow hits the ground running with bold expressions of crème de cassis, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries plus hints of dried herbs, tilled soil and crushed rocks with a fragrant undercurrent of Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with layer upon layer of tightly packed mineral-sparked black fruit flavors, framed by super plush tannins and absolutely seamless freshness, finishing long, long, long. This expression of the venerable J.J. Cohn vineyard—including vines planted in 1945 by John Daniel and dry farmed—is pure magic.
100 Jeb Dunnuck
Pure perfection from Napa Valley, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is, as always, all Cabernet Sauvignon from an incredible site in Rutherford that spent 21 months in 70% new French oak. Incredible aromatics of crème de cassis, darker currants, smoke, tobacco, and assorted floral notes all define the bulk of the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, with a multi-dimensional, layered texture, ultra-fine tannins, and perfect balance. This is such a magical site, and this wine consistently checks in with the greatest wines of the world. It already offers pleasure yet should have 30 years of overall longevity. Hats off to winemaker Celia Welch and the team at Scarecrow.

Full-bodied, ultra-fine, perfectly balanced, and as seamless as they come, this pair power with elegance brilliantly. It will evolve for 10-15 years.

2018 Sine Qua Non Ziehharmonika
Checking in as 82% Syrah, 6.7% Mourvèdre, and the rest Petite Sirah and Grenache, the 2018 Syrah Ziehharmonika was largely destemmed and brought up in 51% new French oak. Gorgeous crème de cassis, smoked game, bacon fat, and spring flower notes all soar from the glass of this beauty, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ripe, building tannins, and a rare mix of richness and freshness. Unquestionably made in a more restrained, elegant style compared to a decade ago, it nevertheless is flawlessly balanced, has awesome tannins, and is just another magical wine from this address that's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.

2018 DOMINUS
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet-like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It's going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!
2016 DOMINUS
100 Points The Wine Advocate
A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Franc aged in 40% new oak, the 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is deep purple-black in color and quite reticent at this youthful stage to begin, offering up subtle notions of potpourri, Indian spices, cigar box and iron ore over a core of crushed blackberries and black cherries with intermittent wafts of black and red currants, new leather and smoked meats. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a densely packed mid-palate and oodles of freshness framed by very ripe, finely grained tannins and laced with compelling earthy accents. It offers incredible vibrancy with tons of black and red fruit sparkle in the mid-palate leading to a provocative mineral element on the very long finish. If I could give more than 100 for this one, I would. To be released in May 2019.

2019 PAS DE CHEVAL PRELUDE
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville
Dense ruby-black with an electric amaranthine rim. Viscous and loaded with loganberry, black currant, and spearmint aromas that slowly reveal complex notes of licorice, cardamom, violet, and wild sage. On entry, the muscularity is immediately evident. Equal measures of perfectly ripe fruit and savory herbal flavors are bound by supple, tonguecoating tannins. Highly concentrated at its core, this is a robust and highly complex wine, seamlessly integrating notes of blackberry, cassis, licorice, tilled earth, mint, and herbes de Provence. The finish builds in a resonant crescendo of fruit, earth, and spice that commands rapt attention. It’s raw power cloaked in refinement, and it will only get better.
2019 PAS DE CHEVAL INTERMEZZO
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Saint Helena
Deep, dense, viscous purple-black, with a vivid ruby rim and deep, staining tears. With a little air, the nose blossoms with aromas of baked blackberries, açaí berry, crème de cassis, crushed stones, cedar shavings, cocoa, and mint. The palate is mouth-filling and rich, loaded with vibrant red-berry fruit and ripe, perfectly integrated tannins. Although tightly packed and full-bodied, the wine’s balance leaves the impression of elegance and grace. Rippling with flavors of Black Forest cherries, blackberry, toast, vanilla, and subtle hints of tobacco, it is a clear standout that comes together for a beautifully harmonious, seemingly never-ending finish. Proof that truly great Cabernet need not choose between power and poise.
2019 PAS DE CHEVAL FINALE
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain
Purple-black that fades to a crimson rim, deeply pigmented and staining the glass upon swirling. After a touch of air, a volley of warm blackberries, Chambord, graphite, and a hint of cedar aromas add complex blueberry, sweet spice, pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and espresso notes. Even before the first sip, it’s obvious this is a big wine. Power and energy pulse through the supple grip of the super-fine tannins, with a core so concentrated it seems to generate its own gravity. Lush flavors of blackberry and pomegranate preserves form the weft for a tapestry of chocolate, tilled earth, toast, vanilla, star anise, five-spice, and crushed violets. Finishing with evolving patterns of ripe fruit, spice, and earth, it seems endless. A gorgeous expression of Howell Mountain muscularity and richness, but still defined by an overall sophistication and balance. There is so much packed into this wine, and it’s perfectly structured to improve for decades.
