Tasting notes
More smoked tobacco, chocolate, and cigar-like nuances emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard, a full-bodied, red and blue-fruited expression from this valley floor site, which usually seems to produce a more black-fruited wine. The quality of the tannins is remarkable, and the wine offers brilliant purity of fruit as well as plenty of mid-palate depth. This is just a stunningly complete, satisfying red that will evolve for 20 years or more. I certainly love it.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard leaps from the glass with bold plum preserves, warm cassis and Black Forest cake notions, followed by hints of menthol, tilled soil and Indian spices. Rich, full-bodied and generously fruited, the palate has a solid foundation of taut, grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long on a lingering minty note.
