Wine reviews

November 2021

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) leaps with vibrant black cherry pie, ripe, juicy black plums and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of bouquet garni, cedar chest and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and lively with bags of juicy black fruit and lovely red berry sparks, finishing long and lifted. 320 cases were made. – LPB JH Wheeler is a new wine label created by Bart and Daphne Araujo of Accendo Cellars. The emphasis is on Cabernet Sauvignon-based, vineyard-designate wines, superbly crafted by winemaker Nigel Kinsman
