Among the best 2011 wines I’ve had, I pulled the cork and this was good to go. Tobacco and kirsch on the nose. Explosive dark fruit on the palate, super soft and silky mouthfeel, full bodied, just amazing to me. 72/28 Cab Sauv/Cab Franc.

Rich, complex, ripe but not overly so & balanced by good acidity. There's still strong tannins but the ripe fruit makes it a smooth, plush drink. There's definitely some earthiness in the mid and finish.

Another stellar Cabernet from TOR. For the first time ever, Tor decided to pick from the few rows of Cabernet Franc at To Kalon, using 28% in this years bottling.

Great but agree with @Antonio Galloni it definitely shows the year. Pick up fair bit of the cab franc. Delicious with steak and lobster tail.

Amazing!!! No words needed. This is one of the best wines I have tried for the price. Amazing blend of cab and cab franc. Easy to drink. Very well balanced.
