Wine Spectator (93/100)
Lots to like here, with a well of açai, plum and blackberry fruit to draw on and extra sweet spice, licorice, bay and sassafras accents adding range. Finish pumps along nicely, pulling everything together. Well built. Best from 2022 through 2033.

Oakville is one of California’s most renowned wine regions, sandwiched between Rutherford and Yountville in the very heart of the Napa Valley. It has gained worldwide recognition for its opulent Cabernet Sauvignon and voluptuous Merlot wines.

The origins of Oakville’s viniculture date back to 1868, when Henry Walker Crabb set up his first vineyard there. Fittingly, given the local surroundings, Crabb named the vineyard To Kalon (kalon means “highest beauty” in Greek) – a name retained by Robert Mondavi when he purchased the site almost a century later. Immediately south of To Kalon is Heitz Cellar’s famous Martha’s Vineyard. Together, these two vineyards make some of America’s very finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
