96 WA. "Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Tor Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Clone 337 (coming from F block in Beckstoffer To Kalon) slowly unfurls to reveal a wonderfully earthy/savory nose with notes of tilled soil, truffles, tapenade, tobacco and tree bark over a core of crème de cassis and plum pudding with nuances of raspberry preserves, incense and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is bursting with earth and mineral-laced baked black fruits, with a wonderfully plush frame and just enough freshness to lift the long, ferrous finish. 225 cases were made."
