The goal for namesake wine is working with To Kalon Vineyard as a whole, crafting a wine from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, while capturing the purity, intensity, and diversity of this special terroir. With soft tannins, plenty of structure, richness, and aromatic excitement, this wine tells the story of the nearly ideal 2018 growing season. The grapes were harvested at night to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Careful sorting and a long, slow fermentation and maceration round out the wine and bring forward the broad spectrum of flavors and aromas inherent in this noble variety.
Serve at 16-18 °C with game stews, beef, lamb or veal steaks.
Blackberries and lead pencil with asphalt, spice and violets. This is medium-to full-bodied with linear and very long tannins that go on and on. Racy and refined, with strength at the same time. Closed and tight now. Hints of toasted oak at the end. Give it time to show its greatness. Pure cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2025.
This has a pretty gorgeous core of dark plum, blackberry and black currant confiture notes that roll through slowly but surely, with a dark loamy accent for support and a backdrop of singed alder, sweet bay leaf and tobacco. Reveals a nice buried iron edge, too. Classic Oakville. Best from 2024 through 2045. 550 cases made.
To Kalon Vineyard Company is a Napa Valley wine producer dedicated to expressing one of the region’s most celebrated vineyard sites through terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. The project honours and revitalises the historic To Kalon Vineyard, a site first planted by pioneering viticulturist H.W. Crabb in the 1860s, who gave the vineyard its name—from the Greek “highest beauty”—in recognition of its exceptional potential.
Situated in Oakville, between the Vaca and Mayacamas mountain ranges in central Napa Valley, the vineyard benefits from gravelly, well-drained soils, significant diurnal temperature variation, and a climate that supports deep root growth and balanced ripening. These conditions are widely regarded as ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, producing grapes with notable structure, depth, and complexity.
The contemporary To Kalon Vineyard Company was launched in 2019 by Constellation Brands with renowned winemaker Andy Erickson at the helm, in partnership with the winery’s fine wine division. Erickson—whose career includes work with elite Napa producers and a master’s degree in enology.
Under Erickson the company produces single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings that reflect the historic vineyard’s reputation. These wines typically marry Napa’s rich varietal expression with precision and ageing potential, often receiving critical acclaim for their structure and complexity.
To Kalon Vineyard Company wines are offered primarily through a mailing list and waitlist, reinforcing their boutique, terroir-focused positioning within the Napa wine category. The estate’s work highlights both the legacy of To Kalon as one of Napa’s benchmark vineyard sites and the contemporary interpretation of its expressive Cabernet Sauvignon potential.
