This wine is made from a vineyard with one of the richest heritages in all of Napa Valley, and the 2002 vintage provided a rare combination of fruit purity, uncommonly opulent tannins and balance. Located on the western side of the valley, the historic To Kalon vineyard receives the full benefit of morning and afternoon sun, as well as the cooling marine influences in the evening. Its gravelly soils are minerally and low in organic content. Aged in 100% new French oak for 20 months. 611 cases. Robert Parker commented that our 2002 vintage “is one of the greatest young cabernets I have tasted from California. Believe it or not, it reminds me of the way the 1986 Mouton-Rothschild tasted at age two or three.”
