2017 Bacio Divino Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard

While this valley floor vineyard doesn’t get the credit it deserves, it turns out some magical wines. The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard is a terrific success in this vintage. It displays a deep purple color as well as rocking notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, tobacco leaf, and loamy earth. Rich, full-bodied, and opulent on the palate, it has wonderful tannins (which aren't a given in this vintage), a terrific sense of elegance and purity, and a great finish. This beautiful 2017 is going to drink well for at least 15-20 years.
