Dusty mineral notes and dried violets complement the black cherry fruit, enriched by layers of loamy earth. The tannins are soaring, supporting a full-bodied richness highlighted by abundant black cherry and lavish cola spices. Crunchy red fruit emerges on the lengthy finish, adding a fresh, vibrant element. The wine is rich, inviting, and beautifully balanced despite its 15.3% ABV, showcasing depth and elegance. The Monastery Blocks are located near the Carmelite Monastery at the southern end of the Mondavi To Kalon section. These blocks have historically provided the backbone for Mondavi Reserve Cabernet wines from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s—wines that remain vibrant and show beautifully in the glass decades later.

Cassis darker chocolate lead pencil and smoked tobacco all emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard Monastery Block a beautifully textured full-bodied 2022 that has plenty of mid-palate depth ripe polished tannins and a great finish. It doesn?t get much better in the vintage and while it has the upfront appeal of the vintage I wouldn?t be surprised to see it evolve gracefully for upwards of two decades.
