From a great valley floor site in Oakville that lies just south of Beckstoffer To Kalon, this wine shows a deep and profound purple color. Notes of lively blue fruits, allspice, graphite and toasty oak all leap from the glass. An opulent and full-bodied wine, it shows ideal balance on the palate - a mixture of great fruit, rounded tannins and natural acidity that results in a lengthy finish with a savory quality. This wine is pure pleasure and will surely be a favorite in your cellar over time.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper, a new wine in this range, is terrific. It has all the savoriness that is such a signature of this southern sector in Oakville, along with the textural richness readers have come to expect from Mark Carter. I love the energy and vibrancy here. The Hopper Cabernet is a great addition to this lineup. Don't miss it.

From a great valley floor site, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard reveals a deep purple color as well as lots of kirsch and darker fruits, medium to full body, supple tannins, and an overall pure, elegant style that will drink well for upwards of 20 years.

Carter's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard delivers complex fruit notes-black raspberries, cassis and blueberries-balanced against deep savory shadings-mocha, tar and black olives. Those are all easily carried on the full-bodied palate by a rich, velvety mouthfeel and ample length on the finish. This should drink well for a couple of decades.
