2018 Myriad, Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard Elysian Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Magnum (1.5L)

JD100 "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Elysian is another heavenly wine from this estate that shows a more elegant, seamless style with its incredible perfume of crème de cassis, graphite, white flowers, flowery incense, and unsmoked tobacco. Deep, full-bodied, and concentrated, it offers building tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. About as seamless as they come, with ultra-fine tannins and flawless balance, this heavenly, seamless, magical wine will benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 40 years or more." JD Aug 2020
"Mike Smith has done a fabulous job at Myriad Cellars in Calistoga working with some fabulous vineyards and creating sumptuous, sexy and consumer-friendly, relatively big and exuberant wines." RP Dec 2016
