90-93 Points, Robert Parker Jr.’s The Wine Advocate (Dec. 2007) — “The brilliant 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon To-Kalon Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, and a style similar to the Cloudy’s Vineyard, with more complexity as well as subtle toast, cedarwood, fruitcake, black currant, and high class, unsmoked cigar tobacco characteristics. The sweetness of the tannins, the richness and expansiveness in the mouth, the layered texture, and long, silky, tannic finish are all impressive. This 2005 should drink well for 15+ years.”

Claus Janzen, Winemaker’s Notes, “Our 2005 To Kalon is all about grace and refinement. Above all else, ours is an elegant and pure representation of the grape and its environs, offering a kaleidoscope of cassis and cherry flavors, balanced with smoky oak nuances. The palate is as silky smooth as Lena Horne’s vocals. It is an estate vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon of distinct varietal purity.”
