Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard 2012, 2013 & 2014

This exclusive three-bottle collection brings together Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintages. Often regarded as one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious single vineyards—frequently compared with a Grand Cru site—To Kalon is renowned for producing wines of remarkable concentration, depth and aromatic intensity. Together, these vintages offer a compelling opportunity to follow the estate’s interpretation of one of Oakville’s most celebrated terroirs.

Tasting Notes
Across the three vintages, the wines display an almost opaque colour and the distinctive dark-fruited character associated with To Kalon. The 2012 is composed and harmonious, offering cassis, dark berries, violets, graphite, chocolate, dried meat and subtle truffle notes. Silky tannins and a long, mineral finish give it both polish and impressive longevity. The 2013 is the most powerful and concentrated of the trio, with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, florals, charcoal and toast. Its palate is dense, layered and remarkably pure, supported by massive yet polished tannins and a deep, persistent finish. The 2014 shows a slightly more open and sun-ripened expression, combining lilac, blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, black fig and warm spice. Its rich, creamy texture is balanced by lively acidity and a mineral edge. All three wines have substantial ageing potential, with the 2013 particularly suited to extended cellaring, while the 2012 and 2014 can offer considerable pleasure with careful decanting.

Production
Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard lies in Oakville at the heart of Napa Valley, a site celebrated for its well-drained, gravelly alluvial soils and warm days tempered by cool nights. Cliff Lede’s Cabernet Sauvignon is made from small, intensely flavoured berries harvested by hand, with night picking helping to preserve freshness. The grapes undergo a meticulous three-stage sorting process before gentle vinification and extended maceration, an approach designed to capture the vineyard’s natural concentration while preserving precision, balance and texture.

Food & Serving
These powerful Cabernet Sauvignons are ideal with richly flavoured dishes such as prime rib, grilled or braised beef, venison, lamb, roasted duck and truffle-seasoned preparations. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant the 2012 and 2014 for around one to two hours, while the youthful and particularly structured 2013 may benefit from two to three hours of aeration, or continued development in the glass.
