Another heavenly wine is the 2018 Cabernet Franc Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, which may be my favorite in the lineup. Sporting a deep purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of crème de cassis, graphite, spring flower, crème brulée, and tobacco, it just glides across the palate with full-bodied richness, beautiful tannins, no hard edges, and that rare mix of elegance and power that only truly great wines possess. It's gorgeous today yet I see no reason it won't keep for at least 15-20 years. R41-1
