The name can only be Andy Erickson if the résumé contains: Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, Ovid, Harlan, Staglin, Mayacamas, Newton, Arietta, Leviathan, AND Favia. Suppose you are accustomed to admiring the handiwork of any of these ethereal wines and/or you continually crave polished, stately, elegant, luscious, and lasting-impression wines. In that case, you should pay close attention to what Andy has added to his curriculum vitae: To Kalon Vineyard Company.  

Bequeathed with access to the utmost premium plots within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard, Andy has the ultimate component in his winemaking mise en place, allowing him unlimited freedom to create a wine that exemplifies maximal pedigree. This might mean that Andy made one of the wine industry's BEST new Oakville wines. It would be nearly impossible not to when THE quintessential heritage Oakville property, known for its serial 100-point wines, is united with a winemaking legend who is one of the finest in the business. Predictably, the wine lives up to the Greek meaning of the word TO KALON: The Highest Beauty. Today it is often referred to as Napa's "First Growth" vineyard, its most iconic vineyard, and is firmly established as ultra-premium grape-growing real estate in the Napa Valley. Undisputedly, the original land expanse is one of the finest in the world for growing world-class Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. With Andy at the helm of this gleaming, rising star project, he will focus on terroir-driven wines using many micro-plots within this celebrated vineyard, providing red blend buffs with another prominent player in the arsenal of world-class wines. Other luminaries in the To Kalon realm are Andy Beckstoffer, who exclaimed, "In addition to the incredible quality of the land, To Kalon has a deep and fascinating legacy. It is truly a gift to make wines from this great vineyard."

"Amazing aromas of lead-pencil shavings to the blackcurrants and  dark cherries. Sweet tobacco and licorice, too. Full-bodied with very fine tannins that spread across the palate. Extremely long. Slightly more  cabernet franc this year, with 60%, the rest cabernet sauvignon. Hard  not to drink now, but will deliver even more in four to five years.” -James Suckling 98 pts
