Myriad Cellars
Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
09’ Myriad Dr Crane. I last tried this wine 4 years ago.
Decanted it for 3 hours ,it’s a absolute must.
Throwing a bit of sediment.
The nose sold it then & sells it now also. The wine is even a bit more expressive. Right down the middle for the win. Drink over the next 10 years. Cheers!

The nose-Expressive licorice, floral/flowers, just sells it for me. Front of the palate you get nice chunk of ripened strawberries. Middle & back of the palate- Primarily black fruits, with a splash of blueberry. BIG/full & smooth finish. Love the vineyard. Cheers to Mike Smith for this gem of a wine.
