Say it with us. BECKSTOFFER TO KALON, BECKSTOFFER MISSOURI HOPPER, BECKSTOFFER DR. CRANE, AND STAGECOACH. Arguably the top vineyard sites in all of Napa make up this rockstar Napa Cab. Made by the legendary Michel Rolland, the master winemaker, blender extraordinaire and enologist from Bordeaux. Michel is a "super-consultant" who has contributed to so many legendary wines -- Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Sloan, Pavie, Smith Haut Lafitte, Ausone, Angelus, Pontet Canet and dozens more super-collectibles. Talk about pedigree!! Also worth mentioning, these wines are made at Alpha Omega and production is overseen by one of the most talented vintners we know, Jean Hoefliger, one of Michel's proteges. A true blockbuster for the cellar and a terrific buy any way you slice it. Hold on to something when you taste this!

Side note: we scored the ‘16 at $20 less than last year -- with bigger press and a stellar vintage! Crazy times...load up! Normally $175. Today? $129.95!! WOODEN 3-packs on request (these will look sexy in the cellar, we think!). FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED…!

Reviews

James Suckling
Blackberries and blueberries with hints of fresh herbs. Some black olives. Medium to full body, integrated and polished tannins and a beautiful, fruity and polished finish. Best wine ever from here. A blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon with tinges of cabernet franc and malbec.

Jeb Dunnuck
From a myriad of top sites around the valley and a collaboration between Jean Hoefliger and Michel Rolland, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, powerful, full-bodied beauty that has lots of ripe black fruits, licorice, scorched earth, and tobacco aromas and flavors. It's thrillingly textured, opulent and hedonistic, with sweet tannins and a great finish. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Cabernet Franc and Malbec brought up in 80% new French oak, give it 2-4 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following two decades. 580 cases.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with dollops of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon MR is very deep purple-black in color and gives up bold scents of baked blueberries, plum preserves, spice cake and mocha with hints of chargrilled meats, sandalwood and dusty soil plus a waft of garrigue. Full, concentrated and packed with black fruit preserves and savory layers, it has a solid yet plush frame and very long, spicy finish. 580 cases produced.
