Amici's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard features brooding scents of mocha, roasted nuts and deep earthy notes. More savory than fruity but with enough cherries for balance, it's medium to full-bodied, silky and fine. While it lacks the rich, hedonistic qualities of the Morisoli Vineyard bottling, it's an elegant, complex effort that should drink well for a couple of decades.
So elegant and charged with good acidity and firm tannins, this wine is firm in the mouth and bright with red and black cherries that are pure and focused, leading to blueberries as it opens up. The structure will carry it for many years of further flavor evolution. Best from 2028.
Another wine that captures the essence of site, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard is a vibrant, mid-weight offering. Dark fruit, chocolate, leather, mocha, espresso and licorice take shape, buffered by tons of energy and freshness that keep things in check. This is impeccably done.
From an underrated vineyard on the valley floor, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Backstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard boasts a dense purple hue as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of pure cassis, spring flowers, violets, and tobacco, with beautifully integrated background oak. Deep, layered, concentrated, and balanced are all the buzzwords here, and I'd certainly be happy with bottles in the cellar.
