World's End 2018 "Crossfire" Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Missouri Hopper Vineyard, Napa Valley
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. CROSSFIRE shows earlier than its fellow Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffers table mate from To-Kalon–coming out of the traps blazing! Andy Beckstoffer purchased Missouri Hopper from the Kelham family in 1996. Owing to phylloxera, the vineyard was replanted to multiple clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and other mainly Bordeaux-style varieties. The Missouri Hopper Vineyard origin lies in it being a part of the historic Vine Hill Ranch located north of the town of Yountville in the Oakville AVA. The vineyard is divided into two areas with the wine emanating from both the northerly, younger Block C and the westerly Block D.Another Single Vineyard wine from Beckstoffer, Crossfire is a typical Cabernet Sauvignon from the valley floor; the first impression is of smooth silk, progressively revealing textured, meaty, crunchy tannins with good grip on the finish. The 2018, dark cherry robe, exhibits sweet spicy oak, violets black cherry and mocha, hints of vanilla, pencil shavings and cardamom
