2022 Fumé Blanc Reserve - To Kalon

A full-bodied, bracing and energetic wine that's alive with lemon, lime and grapefruit flavors with hints of savory scallions, minerals and nervy green apples. The grapes come from 25-year-old vines in the Monastery block of the To Kalon Vineyard. Worth aging a few years to see more flavor development. Drink now or hold.

In contrast to the classic release, the 2022 Fumé Blanc Reserve To Kalon Vineyard is much racier and more mineral-driven. Clean stone fruits, white flowers, chalk, and subtle minty notes all define the aromatics, and it reminds me of a great vintage of Dagueneau’s Silex with its tight, inward, mineral-laced profile. With medium-bodied richness, terrific concentration, integrated yet high acidity, and a great finish, give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following decade.

Salted melon, succulent nectarine and peach flavors are plump and juicy, with hints of spices. Notes of dried ginger, orange blossoms and candied kumquat show fresh acidity, and there’s a dried mango detail on the finish. Drink now. 762 cases made.
