An inky nose with savory notes and an intense purple stony note. Very contained and punchy. cool flavors with intensity. Good balance given the sheer size of the wine — 22 days ago

World's End

Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Had several bottles of this wine in the past 5 years. And this one is easily the best.
Gorgeously rich and pure on the nose: black cherries, blueberry pancakes and blackberry preserve.
This all echoes on the palate and some well dosed pinches of caramel, cocoa, coffee and toast take this wine to another level. Just enough acidity to give it some fraicheur, soft and ripe tannines backing up the long and incessant finish.
Totally beautiful.

Had this twice something like 5 years ago, back then it was still a bit rough around the edges. Should have waited much longer reading your notes

@Jan A Maybe yes, maybe no. Could be due to substantial bottle variation as well.

Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Elegant wine with blackberry, black currant, plum, boysenberry, black cherry, anise, vanilla, smoke, and mocha. The fruit is quite forward but avoids being cloying thanks to balancing the fruit with abundant ripe, well-integrated tannin and high acidity. It’s a lovely wine with a rich, full-bodied texture and a long finish. Enjoyable now and will keep for 10 years — 3 months ago

Prevail Back Forty Rock Rise Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

100% Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. Very complex. Dark ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, black currant, baking spices and dark chocolate. Nice hint of toasted oak on the long and lingering finish. Totally New World in style. Smooth tannins and excellent mouthfeel. Full bodied and juicy. Tannins have relaxed with bottle age. Quite expressive. High quality. — 3 months ago
