Wine reviews
2017 Purlieu
Cabernet Sauvignon
Beckstoffer
Missouri Hopper
Vineyard
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Missouri Hopper features flamboyant notes of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and red currant jelly with nuances of sautéed herbs, tar and underbrush with a waft of pencil lead. Full-bodied, firmly textured and laden with muscular fruit, it has loads of earthy accents and a chewy finish. – LPB
