Mission Codename To Kalon or not To Kalon...
An exceptionally rare offering from an exciting new project.
To Kalon Vineyard Company is the HOTTEST new project to hit this historic vineyard since…1868 maybe?
Like Spongebob and Squarepants, milk and cookies, or mango and shrimp paste - when you combine Andy Erickson and To Kalon Vineyard the result is nothing short of greatness.
These are the kinds of wine you enjoy in a smoking jacket on a plush leather Eames lounger next to a crackling fireplace. The pedigree is unmatched. Andy Erickson, the guy behind Harlan Estate for many years, along with Staglin Family and Favia, Leviathan, and yes Screaming Eagle.
Sourced from the most famous vineyard in Napa - To Kalon. This legendary site was originally planted by H.W. Crabb and named “To Kalon” after the Greek expression for “Highest Beauty”.
This wine is a tribute to Crabb bearing his initials and is a testament that the original clone he planted in the 19th century was indeed truly special. It’s the only 100% To Kalon Heritage Clone out there!
And we have it at the LOWEST price in the world. The few places that even have some are all in the $275-300 range.
As Worth magazine wrote “The holidays, and winter in general, are a great time to try out those wines you’ve been saving for special occasions - or that you haven’t saved but would if you weren’t so impatient to try them. If you live in a cold weather climate, as I do, it feels like the perfect time to light a fire, cook a steak and drink something exceptional… Cellar it for years to come, or drink now. Decisions, decisions… Whichever choice you make, you can’t lose.”
Only 12 bottles were allocated to us, are you amongst the lucky few to experience a legend reincarnated?
