"From the famed Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard in Oakville, this is a nicely crafted, sweetly spiced Cabernet, offering rich black cherry and spiced plum fruit with an elegant, nuanced profile—likely influenced by vines growing further back from the road on well-draining gravelly soils. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate delivers red and black currant fruit, supported by a cedarwood-spiced foundation of firm tannins. A juicy, expressive acid-mineral tension carries through on the lengthy, refined finish, highlighting freshness and depth in this beautifully structured wine." - Jonathan Cristaldi (02/2025)
