The entry elevates the delicate aromas of Chardonnay—citrus, chamomile and linden flower—above the underlying notes of fresh croissant pastry. The palate is delineated and refined with textural elements that echo gorgeous flavors of white peach, Meyer lemon, and white fig, finishing with a distinctive mineral element.

This classically styled Cabernet unfolds slowly and will age gracefully. Dark, condensed aromas of red plum, black cherry, dusty cocoa, and vanilla abound on the nose. On the palate, berry, cola, raspberry, and fig join in a tight middle core and a persistent finish.

Our 2013 Knights Bridge To Kalon fills the senses with notes of baking spices, dried cherry and red currant, cocoa powder, violets and cedar.The wine expands on the palate with great middle-mouth richness typical of Napa Valley fruit with lingering notes of sweet dark fruits, coffee, and hints of spice.

This big wine pairs nicely with espresso braised short ribs atop a bed of polenta, or a hearty portobello mushroom and Gorgonzola risotto.

To Kalon Cabernets are legendary. The 2012 Knights Bridge bottling from this vineyard expresses aromatic impressions of dark red fruits, toffee, leather and floral notes. A rich entry in the mouth with a long finish of vanilla, cassis and sweet oak extend the lingering character of the varietal.

Many savory dishes would pair well with this exuberant wine such as French-cut pork chops with fresh herbs.

A classic To Kalon nose of cassis, blackberry, graphite, and violets emerge from the glass. The succulent palate possesses restrained tannins with interlacing layers of sweet black fruit, roasted cocoa bean, pipe tobacco, and smoked meat. An alluring, Bordeaux-like expression of this legendary vineyard, the 2011 vintage will reward patient cellaring. Decanting this wine in its youth will allow it to best display its many intriguing aromas.
