2015 Becklyn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Horizontal

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Missouri Hopper Vineyard comes from two blocks which are picked on the same day and co-fermented. Aged in 100% new French oak, its vibrant purple color is followed by a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, vanilla bean, crushed flowers, smoke tobacco and earth. Deep, layered, medium to full-bodied, silky and with both power and finesse, it's a layered, complete beauty that has everything you could want from a Napa Cabernet.” (12/2017)

“Deep purple-black, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper has a very pretty nose of crushed blackberries, wild blueberries and red and black currants with suggestions of stewed tea, violets and cast-iron pan. Full-bodied and laden with black and red fruit layers in the mouth, it has a solid backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and a compelling minerality to the finish. (LPB)” (10/2018)

“The 125-case 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley sports a vibrant ruby/purple color to go with a gorgeous bouquet of crème de cassis, white chocolate, flowers, graphite and hints of vanilla. Medium to full-bodied, polished and elegant, it has ripe, sweet tannin, a great mid-palate and a layered, multi-dimensional texture. It's gorgeous.” (12/2017)

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple colored with a nose of cassis, crushed blackberries, mulberries and warm plums with nuances of dusty earth and garrigue.
