The 2021 Purlieu Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of extraordinary richness, single-vineyard Oakville grandeur, and the kind of powerful, concentrated Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that reveals a distinctly different dimension. The Missouri Hopper Vineyard, situated in one of the most storied and sought-after growing areas of the Napa Valley, produces Cabernet Sauvignon of a commanding depth, natural concentration, and textural richness that reflects the extraordinary qualities of Oakville's legendary soils — a combination of well-drained benchland gravels, deep alluvial deposits, and the warm, reliably even temperatures that have made this corridor one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon growing areas anywhere on earth. The 2021 vintage, delivering perfect conditions across Napa Valley, gave the Missouri Hopper Vineyard the ideal season to produce a Cabernet of truly historic ambition: aromas of dense blackberry, blackcurrant, dark plum, graphite, cedar, crushed violets, dark chocolate, and an iron mineral note of exceptional depth and complexity lead to a massively concentrated yet beautifully balanced palate of extraordinary tannin quality and a finish of immense length and satisfaction.
