  I've really enjoyed the more affordable Guarachi Cabs before, especially the Atlas Peak.
  
  What do you get when you pay for the Beckstoffer To Kalon? Power and precision, while maintaining a smooth mouthfeel.
  
  The attack is pretty fruity, with strong red and blue fruit tastes. But the finish is rather dry, which you'd expect from a top Napa Cab that's still pretty young. The tannins are fine grained, but quite present. The finish has all the classic notes of espresso, chocolate, vanilla, and toasted oak. But all are in balance, and not overpowering or sweet.
  
  You can definitely enjoy this now if you like bigger wines and have some red meat to have with it. But it will easily keep for several years.
