Realm Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Franc 2018 Magnum

Realm’s Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Franc 2018 Magnum is a rare, highly sought-after single-vineyard wine that captures the full character of one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated sites. Made entirely from Cabernet Franc and released only in magnum, it combines precision, power, and elegance in a format built for long-term aging. This is a modern California icon in the making, and a wine that has already earned legendary status with a perfect 100-point score from Robert M. Parker.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep garnet-purple color that hints at its concentration and depth. The nose is initially restrained, then gradually opens into a layered bouquet of forest floor, truffle, crushed stone, and graphite, followed by kirsch, black raspberry, blackberry compote, and black cherry, with accents of lavender, cedar, and wild sage. The palate is full-bodied and intensely structured, with firm, super-ripe, finely grained tannins balanced by seamless freshness. It finishes long and mineral-driven, with an elegant floral perfume lingering on the close. This is a wine with exceptional aging potential and is built to evolve beautifully for many years in the cellar.

Production
This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc sourced from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, located at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains in Napa Valley, California. To Kalon is one of the region’s most revered vineyard sites, known for its exceptional terroir and ability to produce wines of striking depth and complexity. Realm’s single-vineyard approach allows the site’s character to shine through with clarity and precision. Produced only in magnums and in extremely limited quantity, with just 600 bottles made, it is crafted for longevity and careful cellaring.

Food & Serving
This Cabernet Franc pairs beautifully with premium cuts of beef, lamb, venison, braised short ribs, and dishes featuring mushrooms, truffle, or rich herb sauces. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and refined game dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for several hours if drinking young to allow the wine to fully open and show its aromatic complexity.

Producer
Realm is one of Napa Valley’s most respected cult producers, known for sourcing exceptional fruit from top vineyard sites and crafting powerful, highly expressive wines. The Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet Franc first appeared as a more refined vineyard-designated wine in 2015, and it quickly established itself as a standout in the lineup. With critical acclaim, limited production, and a strong reputation for quality, Realm has become a benchmark name for collectors seeking serious California Cabernet and Bordeaux-style wines.
