2020 Worlds End Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper 750ML
World’s End is a project by winemaking force Jonathan Maltus. The man has a LONG list of 95-100-point wines. He emerged as a leading visionary from the 1990s ‘garagiste’ period in St.-Émillon, where he pushed the limits and broke all the traditional rules to set new expectations for quality and price. He does it all, most notably across places like Le Dôme and Teyssier, and other top Right Bank estates. World’s End is his Napa outfit and he’s connected with all the right vineyards for sourcing from Beckstoffer single vineyards.Wines sourced from these vineyards go for hundreds of dollars a bottle and have got multiple 100pt scores from the like of Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator. Today I bring you the great 2020 Worlds End Cabernet Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyards. Owned by Andy Beckstoffer, they are the most expensive grapes in Napa. Purchased by Charles Hopper and given to his daughter Missouri in 1877, the land was planted to wine grapes, prunes and walnuts. In 1960, the land was purchased by Bruce Kelham as part of the historic Vine Hill Ranch. Purchased by Beckstoffer Vineyards from the Kelham family in 1996. Some of the finest producers in Napa make a Missouri Hopper Cabernet, including Carter, Venge, Alpha Omega, huge scores that sell for around $200 a bottle. Down to $57.99 this wine is an absolute no-brainer buy. You never see this blue-chip vineyard made by a famous winemaker anywhere near this price.
