2016 Myriad, Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard Elysian Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

RP100 "Composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Elysian gives up intense earthy notes of crushed rocks, iron ore, black truffles and fertile loam to begin, giving way to a stunning array of black fruits and floral scents -crushed black cherries, warm black berries, cassis, red roses and candied violets- with wafts of cigar box and pencil lead in the background. Full-bodied, rich and fantastically flamboyant in the mouth, the decadent fruit slowly grows on the palate to reveal layer upon layer of mineral, earthy and seductively spiced black fruits, finishing very long and wonderfully perfumed. This is Dr. Crane at its finest." LPB Oct 2018
