To Kalon Vineyard Co. Highest Beauty 2018

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. Score – 99. (jamessuckling.com, Sept. 21, 2022)
