2021 Myriad, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

RP99 "Myriad's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard is another superb example of Cabernet Sauvignon from Mike Smith—one of Napa Valley's finest winemakers. Expansive aromas of mixed cherries, baking spices and complex notes of loamy earth appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and plush, yet remarkably fresh as well, with terrific length and silky-velvety tannins on the finish." Joe Czerwinski for The Wine Advocate, Jan 2024 LP99 "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon rockets of the glass with vivacious notions of redcurrant jelly, warm cassis, and fresh blackberries leading to hints of lilacs, tar, and black truffles with a waft of cracked black pepper and tilled soil. The full-bodied palate shimmers with energetic black berry and mineral layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and lifted." Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Oct 2025 JD98 "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard doesn't give much, if anything, to the Elysian and has a similar perfume of pure cassis and black cherry fruit supported by scorched earth, graphite, black licorice, and earthy tobacco. With incredible mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannin, full-bodied power and richness, and one hell of a great finish, this brilliant Dr. Crane will benefit from just a few years in the cellar and have over two decades of longevity. It should have a touch more up-front charm compared to the Elysian, which needs slightly more bottle age. (Drink between 2027-2047)" Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2024
