Grapes From These Vineyards Make California's Top Wines — Here Are 16 Names to Know

"I view To Kalon—first planted in 1868—as one of Napa Valley’s oldest and greatest vineyards, now consisting of two adjacent parcels (one held by Robert Mondavi Winery and the other by grower Andy Beckstoffer) and best known for top-tier Cabernet; its history and quality command stratospheric prices. While To Kalon Cabernets are the headline, the site also yields notable whites such as the 2021 Robert Mondavi To Kalon Reserve Fumé Blanc, and collector-level Cabs like Tor’s 2022 Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet (currant, black cherry, lavender, bold tannins) and Realm’s 2019 Beckstoffer To Kalon Cabernet (iron-like minerality, black and blue fruit, cedary spice)." - Ray Isle, Jonathan Cristaldi
