2018 Myriad, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JD99 "This iconic site located outside of St. Helena always produces a rich, powerful wine, and the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is no exception, offering loads of black and blue fruits, gravelly earth, chocolate, and Asian spice notes as well as a full-bodied, opulent, sexy profile on the palate. With a beautiful sense of freshness, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish, this gorgeous effort needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will cruise for 30 years or more." JD Aug 2020

RP97 "The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of ripe blackberries, Morello cherries, blackcurrant pastilles and chocolate box with hints of camphor, lilacs and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is intense with bags of tension and energetic black and red fruits, supported by ripe grainy tannins, finishing long and mineral laced." LPB for TWA Nov 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
