"Arrow&Branch's 2022 Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of grapes from the E1 block near the Mayacamas foothills and the A2B block closer to Highway 29. Together, they create a seductively complete wine that is compact, tension-filled, vibrant, and energetic. It holds immense power and integrity, with pristine blackberry, red cherry, plum, and blue fruit compote, laced with rich savoury spices, and palate-etching tannins that are long, firm, and grippy, building, then resolving nicely through the extended mineral-driven finish. This wine is built for the long haul and is one of the finest I tasted from the 2022 releases."

“So gorgeous in aromas, deep and broad in flavors, showing all the expansive richness and complexity that a Napa cabernet can muster. Tobacco, bay leaf, dark plum, cocoa and graphite aromas, then mouth-filing dark chocolate, blueberry and black cherry flavors. Made from clone 4 and clone 337 vines on one of the great Oakville properties. Full-bodied. Drink now or hold."

"Very concentrated and deep but sleek, showing the Coombsville district coolness in style. Nicely composed and balanced, showing moderate acidity backed by serious but fine-grained tannins. Includes 65% cabernet franc, 19% merlot and 16% cabernet sauvignon. Full-bodied. Some of the vines that go into this are over 40 years old. Drink or hold."

"This chocolaty, suave and generous wine is gentle in texture but deep and concentrated, too. Moderate tannins wrap around blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, cream and cocoa flavors. So smooth, long and delicious, with a luxurious palate, soft tannins and a lingering finish. Drink now or hold."

"In 2023, Napa Valley experienced one of the longest growing seasons in a decade or more. With consistent, mild weather throughout the season, above-average crop yields, and extended hang time, 2023 is an exceptional, high-quality, memorable vintage. 

Winter and spring rains led to full reservoirs and healthy, saturated soils; ideal conditions as grape growers headed into bud break. The mild, warm summer weather supported healthy canopy growth through bloom and set. Relatively cool weather throughout the growing season in tandem with an abundance of sunshine allowed grape skins to ripen slowly and develop maximal dark red color components for red wines."
