These are two fabulous wines from brothers Graeme and Alex MacDonald. Their 2015 is superb, while the 2016 is shaping up to be even better. The MacDonalds own 15 acres of vineyards in the heart of To Kalon. Most of the fruit has gone to Mondavi (and before that Charles Krug) since the mid 1950s. The Cabernet sees 30-35 days on the skins and is aged in Taransaud and Sylvain barrels, with minimal racking.

These are three brilliant wines from brothers Graeme and Alex MacDonald. Graeme MacDonald is among the producers for whom the August 2014 earthquake was a key moment to understanding the vintage. Up until then, the vines had conserved energy. The earthquake resulted in bringing water closer to the surface, as the shifts in the ground caused several dry streams and creeks to start running again. As for the wines, they are simply magnificent Cabernets that capture the essence of what makes the To Kalon vineyard so unique.
