  Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Pretty good for a modern Napa cab. Sweet black fruit with a hint of vanilla and black cherry, but without the overbearing oak on the nose or on the palate. Surprisingly light-footed on the palate, this drinks quite nicely and I might even drink a glass of this with the right type of dinner.

  Many thanks to our friends who brought this to dinner on Friday night. It's a nice version of Napa Valley floor wine (as you might expect with the Beckstoffer To Kalon name). Very fruity and bigger which worked really well with a short rib and lamb main where the wine was very ready to stand up to the bigger flavors. Bottle went quickly so it was well enjoyed.

  Very similar to my 2020 experience with this wine. Dark cherry, plum, mocha and tobacco on the palate with a dusty, earthy finish. Full bodied with nicely integrated tannins. Elegant and layered. This will continue to age for several more years but it is awfully good now.

  Typical To-Kalon Cabernet. Plum, cassis and a little dark cherry up front with mocha, a touch of leather and classic dust on the back palate. This will still improve with some additional age but tannins are smooth and somewhat integrated. Opened this about 45 minutes before serving which turned out to be enough.
