Myriad Cellars
Three Twins Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, dried figs, tobacco, raisins, cedar, vanilla, licorice, eucalyptus, chocolates, herbs, spices and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, espresso, vanilla, spices, light earth, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 9 year old, from the great 2013 vintage, is drinking very nicely now. Nicely balanced with nice complexity.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 3 hours in the decanter.
Another wonderful wine from the hands of Mike Smith. Rich, elegant, fruit forward and extracted.
Getting to be at its peak, but not there yet, although very enjoyable at this point. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Robert Parker 93 points.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.
Great by itself as a sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a Single Vineyard. A tiny production of only 100 cases made.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$135.

Mike Smith does a nice job. Lots of mint, cedar and blue fruit. Tons of sediment so I’m guessing for an 18 this wine isn’t filtered or fined. Great Cabernet if you can find it.

This wine is delicious. It is so rounded that the flavors just merge to provide a memorable explosion of fruit blended with great structure. Like it

Impressive. Blue-black color. Deep and complex aromas of black currant and plum; cedar and licorice. Rich but not sweet in the mouth. Delicious and should evolve for many years.

A really good wine from the 2011 vintage. Given how challenging the vintage was wines like this will be overlooked by the 2012 and 2013 because they are better years but Mike Smith should be recognized for how good his 2011 turned out.

An incredible wine. 6 hour decant and still building. Great tannins and acidity provide a gorgeous backdrop for the fruit. Absolutely beautiful. I love Myriad!
