Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance. — 11 years ago

Nice syrah-cab blend. Bell pepper, red fruit, violet(?), earthiness (forest floor/mushroom). Nice, full body with mild tannin and well balanced alcohol. — 13 years ago

Perhaps the best stately young Napa Cabernet I've ever tried from brothers and 3rd gen ToKalon vinetenders/winemakers @Graeme MacDonald & @Alex MacDonald. It's drinking napa history and future, and god damn is it brilliantly delicious. — 11 years ago
