Region: Napa Valley, California

Vintage: 2018

Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

History: Missouri Hopper was the vivacious and much-beloved youngest daughter of Charles Hopper, a Napa Valley pioneer who purchased land from George Yount before Yountville even existed. The vineyard that today bears her name was part of a 100-acre gift from her father, who had planted it to vine in 1873.

Tasting Notes:

The Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon has such a beautiful frame and soft, silky roundness. A bit of graphite and pretty floral notes complement the fresh red and blue fruits.
