Celebrate 20 years of mastery with our first Single Block Beckstoffer To Kalon release, born from Napa Valley’s “Holy Grail” terroir first planted by Hamilton Crabb in the 1860s. Sourced from the revered B1 Block, sustainably hand-tended by Alpha Omega since 2006, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from Clone 337 and aged 18 months in 100% new French oak.
