About this winery

Deep in the heart of Napa Valley, H.W. Crabb planted a vast empire of vines in the 1860s. Eventually it grew thick with grapes, orange trees, and Italian chestnuts. So rich was it with life and bounty that Crabb nobly bestowed upon the wine produced from the vineyard the Greek name "To Kalon", or "highest beauty". Today, To Kalon Vineyard Company is dedicated to crafting unique expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon from this storied place.

Production notes

temperate spring and a moderate summer that produced smooth and even ripening with long picking windows that allowed us to harvest each block at its ideal moment. The wines of this vintage have proven to be extraordinary – with remarkable freshness balanced with layered concentration and great depth of complexity. The wines of the 2019 vintage are wonderfully enjoyable upon release but will also be an ideal addition to your cellar for many years to come.

Tasting notes

Painstakingly crafted each vintage, Highest Beauty is our attempt to capture the finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and the purest representation of the legendary To Kalon Vineyard in any given vintage. Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that is hand-selected from blocks throughout To Kalon Vineyard, the 2019 Highest Beauty exhibits classic Cabernet Sauvignon character with great richness and depth. Luscious with notes of raspberry and black cherry, the wine features beautifully integrated tannins, lithe acidity, and a silky finish. Aged for 20 months in 100% new French Oak, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
