Tasting notes
The 2016 Divine Kiss comes all from Beckstoffer sites (To Kalon, Missouri Hopper, George III, and Antica) and is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 5% Sangiovese. Its deep purple color is followed by a powerful yet elegant aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, spiced plums, licorice, mocha, and Asian spices. With beautiful purity and elegance on the palate, it has full-bodied richness, subtle background oak, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s an incredibly classy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that will keep for two decades.

Te 2016 Artful Red Blend is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Sangiovese coming from Beckstoffer To Kalon (40%), Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper (30%), Beckstoffer George III (25%) and Antica (5%—the Sangiovese). Deep purple-black colored, the 2016 Artful Red Wine reveals wonderful purity and intensity on the nose, giving notes of crushed blackberries and redcurrants with a core of cassis and nuances of black pepper, tree bark, truffles, licorice and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied and boldly fruited in the mouth, the crushed black fruit and anise-inspired layers have a solid backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.
