To Kalon

2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Robert Mondavi Winery To Kalon 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable expression of Napa Valley's rich terroir. Characterized by its full-bodied structure, this wine showcases an exquisite balance of high acidity that adds a refreshing brightness to every sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of dark berries, plum, and hints of blackcurrant, which seamlessly meld with the wine’s underlying oak influence. Tannins are notably firm, providing a robust framework that enhances the wine's aging potential. This Cabernet is crafted in a dry style, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes, such as grilled lamb or a rich beef stew. A true testament to California winemaking, this wine encapsulates the essence of the To Kalon vineyard and delivers an unforgettable tasting experience.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
