  Missouri Hopper can be hit or miss and I do like the 2012 Debate. It’s not a powerful cab, but nicely balanced with a chocolate and earthiness that is pleasing on the palate with a nice smooth finish.

  Sadly, we were not home and drank in small glasses. Still very pleasing Dark, rich berries with hint of chocolate.

  Just great now so no need to wait! I love the fun of comparing to kalon, Dr crane and MO hopper vineyards! Orig you prefer try a comparison with other bottling from this vineyard.this had chocolate and graphite and dark berry- blackberry/Casis to me. I was a bit stunned to see 15.1% Abv on label ?! If I recall right this is 100%cab sauv and was in mostly new French oak barrels for almost two years - they oly made 200 cases so good for you if you have a bottle!

  Excellent, paired with pan seared lamb shoulder and garlic mashed potatoes. Great fruit, intensity, dark chocolate.
