Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Moulds Vineyard

This bottle was dialed-in; a more finessed expression of the sometimes touchy 2013 vintage, with friendly red and black berry flavors roped around red cherry, river rock, red licorice, purple plum,…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

This particular bottle was similar to SMHALPS' recent tasting note. Gooey, sweet fruit and licorice, with a plump core and rounded, plush texture. A chewy mouthful of ripe fruit. Not too much tension…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper

Massive chocolatey and meaty fruit on the attack, with sweet gobs of black and red raspberry, cassis, licorice, and charcuterie on the front end. Quite the bitter bite on the tail at the moment.

Ah, the "Supa Hoppa!"... As expected, this is the super-duper-uber Becklyn Missouri Hopper 2.0, and it shows accordingly. Take everything you know about the Hopper, add more wet soil, more roast…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper

Creosote, blackberry, damp black earth, fresh turned soil, and some charcuterie notes cut in line before the frame eventually catches up with its semi-sweet, rich tannins. A bit of an onslaught on…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Moulds Vineyard

This wine is admittedly a tricky one for me, as this particular site jives less with my palate in general; so, full disclosure there. Many will find it to be a well-honed machine that reflects…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Much like the Myriad Twins, the standard Becklyn sample displayed fresh, ripe red and black fruit, albeit with a more reserved temperament overall at the moment. Complete, friendly, and with medium…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Still hitting heavy in the fruity cocktail category, with a flavorful array of red, purple, blue, and black berry fruits, cassis, vanilla, and Twizzlers. Plush and fleshy, with a somewhat protracted…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Ripe black cherry, cassis, plum, blueberry, and dark black raspberry rule the roost here. Some cocoa powder, forest floor, and even a light floral note show up to assist in elevating the core fruit.…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

From 3L. Similar to previous notes. Huge, plush, ripe attack, with black/red/purple fruit liqueur, black cherry, plum, and vanilla. A fantastic flavor profile; a little plump and doughy on its…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

From 3L. Previous notes apply. PnP and it was kicking out rich, extracted liqueur-like notes of black, blue, and red berry core fruit. Vanilla and bitter chocolate on the front end as well. This 3L…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

All previous notes apply. This continues to impress all who sample it. The bottle was empty before everyone knew it. Drinking fine now on PnP, but may improve even more in the "seamlessness of…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Same as my previous notes on this wine. This was served to me blind and I identified it correctly as the '15 Becklyn NV, mostly because of the unique array of blue, black, and red fruit notes…

Much like the 2015 Becklyn NV, the MH had the slightest bit more of elevated concentration and power, but otherwise displayed a comparable flavor-filled hodgepodge of awesome blue, red, and black…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Moulds Vineyard

When bookended between the 2015 Becklyn NV and the 2015 Becklyn MH, the Mould's Reserve came off slightly thinner and more linear than the other two served right beside it. As a standalone, this wine…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

I'll just say this. For $65 bucks, this was the QPR wine of the night. Full of flavor and more concentration than the 2014, this 2015 has everything you'd want in a right-now kind of wine. Bursting…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Plush, round, flavorful, and pushing out a medium-bodied attack of dark black cherry, purple plum, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and some spice. Certainly a nice array of flavors jumping around on…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Moulds Vineyard

Coravin pour. A bit of a whirlwind of flavors, with blackberry, black and red currant, black and red licorice, black raspberry, blueberry, vanilla bean, and hints of spice. Some Twizzlers notes…

Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

PnP was a blast of an assortment of wild flavors. Rich cassis, sweet Amarena black cherry, purple plum, black raspberry, IHOP boysenberry syrup, cocoa, Milk Duds, vanilla bean, red and black…
