An incredibly complex Cabernet from Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard, revealing a decadent nose of blueberry, boysenberry, dark cherry, and cassis. The palate is polished and silky, layered with notes of bay laurel, cigar box, and tobacco lifted by bright acidity.

This land was purchased by Charles Hopper in 1877 as a gift for his daughter, Missouri. Shortly thereafter, grapevines were planted, along with prunes and walnuts, which were prevalent local crops at the time. Today, under the watchful eye of the Beckstoffer team, multiple clones of Cabernet Sauvignon are tended in this sought-after Heritage Vineyard.

Our expression of Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III opens with a symphony of black cherry, licorice, stunning floral and tea leaf aromas, segueing into an incredible harmony of plum, dark chocolate, and baking spice underscored by seamless acidity and velvety tannins. Intense concentration promises decades of graceful aging.

Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III is one of Napa’s preeminent Heritage Vineyards, with records indicating the land was planted to vine in 1895 by Mrs. Thomas Rutherford. Acquired by the Beckstoffer family in 1988, the vineyard was then replanted with new clones, employing tighter vine spacing and advanced trellising systems. Over the years, many of the most prestigious winemakers have showcased the beauty of the Cabernet Sauvignon grown here through highly-acclaimed wines.
