2019 Williams Selyem Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard is the first commercial release of a Cabernet Sauvignon from Williams Selyem. It's a lovely first rendition that embraces the elegant character of the 2019 vintage in Napa. It has an opaque purple-black color and slowly unfurling aromas of red cherry jam, lavender, tobacco, game meats and cedar. Like Williams Selyem's Pinot Noirs, the full-bodied palate is texturally notable, its abundant tannins very finely grained. It offers surprising bursts of mouthwatering acidity, and its 100% new French oak is already integrating nicely. The long finish boasts an array of floral and spicy sparks, and its freshness leaves you wanting more.
