Review Date: 02/2023As with many cuvées here, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard is the best in the lineup. Smoked tobacco, chocolate, damp earth, and ripe black fruits all define the bouquet, and this beauty is full-bodied, has a round, supple, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. Drink this sexy, round, complex, satisfying 2019 over the coming 15+ years.

A red with lots of blackberry, chocolate and coffee character on the nose and palate, yet it comes in firm and tannic on the finish. Chewy. Flavorful.

The 2019 Crossfire Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard, still 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and 80% new French oak, offers up hints of graphite and pencil shavings alongside notes of cassis, dark chocolate, plum and anise. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety but still firm and structured, with the ability to age two decades. (JC) 93+

We knew that on election day we would need something eye-popping to really grab folks' attention...so here you go: 95-point Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Cab for $59.95! That's just shy of $100 off the wines SRP...that's 60% off! Missouri Hopper is one of the most prime sites in all of Napa Valley. It sits on the western bench of Oakville surrounded by other legendary vineyards including Ulysses, Vine Hill Ranch and Dominus just across the border in Yountville AVA. This more southerly part of the valley is becoming even more sought after as vintages get warmer and warmer. Missouri Hopper is perfectly positioned in Napa's sweet spot. The wine really illustrates it's combination of prime Napa terroir with Bordeaux inspired winemaking - big, bold, luscious fruit, creme de cassis, blackberry, boysenberry, espresso, cocoa powder, toasted oak spice, but then tobacco leaf, camphor, even cedar tones. It's nice to have some savory varietal character holding in there amongst all the hedonistic fruit and exotic oak. Thanks to our Insider's Advantage program, this is a seriously satisfying Cabernet that delivers a Cult Cab experience for an everyday price point. We loaded up on this almost too good to be true deal, as it's destined to be a best-seller, but, when it's gone it's gone for good.
