Carter Cellars Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Tasting Notes
From a great valley floor site in the southern part of the Oakville AVA, this wine shows a deep and profound purple color. Notes of fresh dark fruit, lavender, graphite and rounded oak all leap from the glass. An opulent and full-bodied wine, it shows great balance and a medley of textures 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 uou be further rewarded if you cellar this wine for 3 to 5 years.

The History of the Missouri Hopper Vineyard
Located north of the town of Yountville in the Oakville AVA, Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper was originally part of a large piece of land owned by George C. Yount, from whom the town of Yountville takes its name. Purchased by Charles Hopper and given to his daughter Missouri in 1877, the land was planted to wine grapes and, as much of the Napa land was at that time, prunes and walnuts. In 1960, the land was purchased by Bruce Kelham as part of the historic Vine Hill Ranch. Purchased by Beckstoffer Vineyards from the Kelham family in 1996, the vineyard is today planted with multiple clones of Cabernet Sauvignon that provide fruit with sweet tannis and an unique and savory profile.
