Vertical in Wooden Box

This special set includes four bottles of Amici Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet from 2016-2019 in a beautiful Amici wooden box. 

2016 Amici Missour Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon
A gorgeous, fragrant nose of black cherry, plum and dark chocolate is washed with hints of vanilla. The full-throttled palate is reminiscent of blackberry pie along with flavors of concentrated dark fruit and silky chocolate. Hints of clove, cassis and savory herbs pepper throughout the powerful finish.

2017 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon
Dense and concentrated, the 2017 Missouri Hopper is a powerhouse, character-filled wine. Aromas of herbs and crushed rock accompany currant, plum and licorice. The wine is plush yet nuanced on the palate, with bittersweet chocolate flavors, black currant, and cedar. Firm yet fine tannins carry through the long, opulent finish.

2018 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon
Black cherry juice aromas accompany notes of black licorice in this powerful wine. On the palate, the wine is balanced, with dark cocoa powder flavors, red currant, and black olive. Plush and rich tannins carry throughout the long, bright finish.

2019 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2019 Missouri Hopper bursts out of the glass with rich and vivid aromas of redcurrant, bakers chocolate, and roasted coffee. The textured palate presents chewy flavors of blackberry tart and cassis, followed by notes of cedar box and saddle leather from the oak. The long, fragrant finish is accompanied by firm yet approachable tannins, making this wine excellent to drink now, or age for years to come.

2016 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon

“Just about perfection in a glass, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard is another straight-up fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon from this great, great vintage. From a valley floor site just south of To Kalon, it offers La Mission Haut Brion-like notes of tobacco, lead pencil, and cold fireplace as well as sensational cassis fruit, full body, building tannins, and a deep, layered, sexy texture that needs to be tasted to be believed. It has the purity and elegance that make 2016 special yet also offers density, depth, and opulence. Don’t miss it!”

2017 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon

“A total knockout in the vintage, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper offers a ripe, powerful, full-bodied style as well as textbook Missouri Hopper notes of black, chocolaty fruit, smoked herbs, tobacco, and crushed rocks. This site doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and has produced some awesome wines over the past 4-5 years. With a great mid-palate, loads of pure, opulent fruit, integrated oak, and fine tannins, it dishes up loads of pleasure already yet will keep for 15-20 years or more.”

2018 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Missouri Hopper Vineyard is another wine in this lineup that’s a dead ringer for a top wine from the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux. Revealing a dense purple/plum color as well as classic Cabernet notes of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and gravelly earth, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a great finish. It has enough fruit to be approachable today yet is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 20-25+ years.”

2019 Amici Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Missouri Hopper Cabernet Sauvignon offers a gorgeous perfume of kirsch, black raspberries, roses, and redcurrant over a classic cassis and cedar core. Medium to full-bodied, it is finely grained with firm yet approachable structure, leading to a long and minerally finish on this lovely wine.”
