The 2022 Purlieu Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning single-vineyard expression from one of Napa Valley's most dedicated small-production programs. Missouri Hopper Vineyard, located in the Oakville appellation, occupies a privileged position on the valley floor where deep, well-drained soils and optimal sun exposure allow Cabernet Sauvignon to reach its full potential. Winemaker Julien Fayard, one of Napa's most sought-after talents, brings his precise, terroir-driven approach to this vineyard, coaxing out a wine of exceptional focus and depth. The 2022 vintage — one of Napa's finest in recent memory — produced Missouri Hopper Cabernet of remarkable concentration and freshness: blackcurrant, dark cherry, graphite, and a signature Oakville richness flow seamlessly from the nose to the lingering finish.

A wine for the collector who values provenance, precision, and the singular identity of great Napa Valley vineyards, the 2022 Purlieu Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon will reward cellaring for a decade or more. Decant generously and serve at 64°F with prime rib, roasted lamb, or a classic beef Wellington for a pairing of mutual distinction.
