Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2013

Another excellent effort, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Missourri Hopper is not as explosively fruity as the To Kalon, and plays it closer to the vest. Concentrated and medium to full-bodied with silky tannins...

In 2013, Jean Hoefliger began a new chapter in his global wine career when he partnered with Rob McKay to create The Debate. Jean knew that with his experience and perspective paired together with Rob’s, they could craft wines that celebrate the art of conversation, the difference of viewpoints, and the enjoyment of sharing them.

Rob McKay has long been an advocate of the California wine industry, and the right to a point of view. In addition to his thirst and passion for all things wine, his experience as an investor, philanthropist and political donor positions him perfectly to participate in the debate.

These two friends bring their unique perspectives together to create thought provoking and delicious wines that extend beyond the sense of taste to the thrill of telling stories and the art of listening.

By selecting three different vineyards with three different expressions of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the Debate seeks to point out the diversity of terroir that is shown in each of these wines.

The Debate defines the notion of terroir as the interaction of a climate, a soil and a plant in a unique location. Vines, like people, develop character from its surroundings and upbringing. Each of these wines will possess their own personality and reflect the different facets from its place in the world.

Beckstoffer Missouri-Hopper is a spectacular vineyard situated in the sensual hourglass of the Napa Valley, where the bay influence creates a cooler climate than neighboring To Kalon Vineyard. The site yields Cabernet Sauvignon with a balance of ripeness and power, finished with finesse and elegance.

The Debate Missouri Hopper Cabernet is 100% barrel-fermented Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 23 months in 70% new French oak.
