Merchant's description

Paul Hobbs is one of the most widely respected and acclaimed winemakers in California having not only garnered a reputation for his own incredible quality wines since his inaugural 1991 releases, but also for his stints at Opus One, Peter Michael and Simi Winery. To Kalon is a single vineyard in Oakville of near mythical status and reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon. This rare large format from the 2011 vintage is a sensational release with delicious notes of crème de cassis, liquorice, spice and earth.
