Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2018 Becklyn "Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (95JD) and 2-bottles of 2018 Becklyn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (92JD, 92WS). Of the 2018 Becklyn "Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "A beautiful expression from this site, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard reveals a deeper purple/plum color to go with classic darker currants, tobacco, lavender, chocolate, and leafy herb aromas and flavors. It's rich and full-bodied, with a plush mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. There's plenty of up-front charm here, but it has lots of underlying tannins as well, and I suspect it is going to see its 20th birthday in fine form. (95+)" (01/2021)

“Moving to the reds, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley sports a dense purple/plum color as well as spicy, already complex notes of red plums, blueberries, flowery incense, candied orange, and baking spices. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and nicely textured, enjoy this charming Napa Cab over the coming 10-12 years.” (01/2021)

“Ripe and full in feel, with raspberry, plum and blackberry compote notes laid over a brambly element, while melted licorice and sweet spice accents fill in. An alder hint adds contrast on the finish. (JM)” (03/2021)

Becklyn’s Cabernet from Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard comes from the heart of Oakville, where deep alluvial soils and consistent warmth produce Cabernet of breadth, polish, and classic Napa Valley balance. The 2018 shows ripe blackcurrant and blackberry layered with cedar, cocoa, and a subtle graphite note that speaks clearly to the vineyard’s pedigree. On the palate, supple, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity give the wine a seamless flow, carrying dark fruit and savory nuance into a long, composed finish that underscores the site’s quiet power.
