Winemaker Notes: The valley floor location of the Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard provides exceptional terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon. On the southern boundary of the Oakville AVA , this is one of Napa Valley’s oldest grape-growing locations with its initial planting dating back to the late 1800’s. 2018 was a balanced and generous growing season, achieving excellent ripeness through long hangtimes and assuring fully mature flavor profiles in the resulting wines. Our valley floor vineyards like Missouri Hopper fared particularly well. Opulent fruit and fine grained tannins matched with perfect acidity are remarkable in this wine. It will stand the test of time.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wilfred Wong - "The 2018 Bacio Divino Janzen Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is formidable and powerful on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows aromas and flavors of bold black fruits and attractive oaky notes. Enjoy its strength and richness with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye."
Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard reveals a dense purple/blue color to go with more closed, backward (yet classic Missouri Hopper) notes of chocolaty dark fruits, tobacco leaf, espresso roast, and a hint of violets. Beautiful on the palate, it's a powerhouse that offers a monster mouthfeel, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish. Despite all its concentration, it stays nicely balanced and has a wonderful sense of freshness, which is the hallmark of the 2018 vintage. This beauty will evolve for 25+ years."
Wine Enthusiast - "Earthy in compost, iron and graphite, this is a full-bodied and fully integrated wine with a remarkably elegant structure. Black currant and blackberry fruit components are richly layered throughout a core of supple tannin and lasting oak."
