Winery Notes:
Purlieu’s 2017 vintage from the Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard delivers pure indulgence from start to finish. Rich blackberry and dark blue fruits on the nose explode into cascading layers of luxurious black fruit, sun-kissed berries, and sweet spice on the palate. Satin tannins and balanced acidity sustain the rich aromatics with seamless, concentrated power and persistence.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer 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.
