TOR's 'Pure Magic' is an ultra-limited, barrel-selection proprietary red blend that represents the absolute pinnacle of Tor Kenward's winemaking artistry. The wine's origin lies in a spontaneous moment of discovery during a blending session between Tor Kenward and winemaker Jeff Ames; upon combining select barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the legendary Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, the synergy was so instantaneous and profound that the name 'Pure Magic' was born. Sourced from the historic, gravelly soils of Oakville, this cuvée showcases the majestic power of Napa Valley Cabernet alongside the perfumed, savory complexity of high-caliber Cabernet Franc. Aged in the finest French oak barrels, it is a seamless, opulent masterpiece that captures the essence of one of the world's most celebrated terroirs.
