AMICI BECKSTOFFER MISSOURI HOPPER VINEYARDS 2017


THE WINE:

A total knockout in the vintage, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard offers a ripe, powerful, full-bodied style as well as textbook Missouri Hopper notes of black, chocolaty fruit, smoked herbs, tobacco, and crushed rocks. This site doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and has produced some awesome wines over the past 4-5 years.

TASTING NOTES:

With a great mid-palate, loads of pure, opulent fruit, integrated oak, and fine tannins, it dishes up loads of pleasure already yet will keep for 15-20 years or more. Drink date: 2020-2040. Score – 96. (jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 31, 2020)

THE WINERY:

Missouri Hopper, one of Napa’s oldest vineyards, consists of 45 acres on the famed Oakville Bench. Purchased by Charles Hopper and given to his daughter Missouri in 1877, today it is owned by the Beckstoffer family. Wines from this vineyard consistently display a balance of power and refinement.
