To Kalon is not one owner's vineyard but a historic site of several hundred acres on the Oakville benchland. Beckstoffer's To Kalon fruit is sold by the bottle-price formula (a multiple of the wine's retail price) rather than by the ton — the most public example of grape pricing tied to wine value. Opus One's estate includes To Kalon parcels.

Grape pricing

Beckstoffer sells To Kalon fruit at a multiple of the finished wine's bottle price (widely reported at 100× the bottle price per ton)

At the going rate for vineyard land in this region, a site this size would be worth roughly $185,250,000–$309,000,000. Famous vineyards like this one almost never change hands, and when they do the price is far higher.
