2017 | Carte Blanche | Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard

Stunning color in the glass, an electrifying nose showcases black currants, cassis,
cigar box and red fruit. The palate is opulent, plush and structured with integrated sweet tannins showcasing notes of dark blackberry, black cherry, and bittersweet chocolate dance through an everlasting and strong finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (100%) comes from the Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper vineyard in Oakville. It aged in 100% French Darnajou, Taransaud and Sylvain oak for 22 months. Deep purple-black colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant black berry preserves, baked plums and candied violets with touches of chocolate mint, smoked meats and sautéed herbs. Full-bodied, rich and finely grained, it has lovely freshness and loads of savory layers on the finish. 500 cases produced.

• James Suckling: This is really structured with a compressed and exciting palate of intense fruit and compact tannins. Full-bodied yet reserved and holding back. Fantastic length. Give this three to four years of bottle age.

Producer Information

The core of the Carte Blanche wine producing philosophy is to respect the terroir in each wine, thus accepting the responsibility to honor what the earth has given us. In early 2014, Carte Blanche continued its commitment to that mantra in welcoming Helen Keplinger as the new winemaker. With each vintage, Carte Blanche is celebrated —the freedom to create wines from singular or multiple vineyards, varietals or appellations. They constantly strive to extract the best out of nature and science. Their art and creative freedom allows them to work with an open canvas and develop exceptional wines that enhance our celebration of life.
