2021 Myriad Cellars Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon | St. Helena Napa Valley California 750ml

Dark red fruit on the nose, dense, concentrated, pure fruit driven with woven spices and minerality on the long and winding finish. Crushed gravel lift in the mid palate plays off the natural acidity, leading to spectacular tannin management. Big, bold and beautiful all at the same time. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Clone 337. 175 cases produced. | Myriad Cellars

From a great site in St. Helena, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is another deep purple-hued barrel sample from Mike that has incredible purity in its ripe blackcurrant and cassis fruits as well as notes of chocolate, lead pencil, and scorched earth. Perfectly balanced, full-bodied, and concentrated, with silky tannins, it's going to just about blow you away any time over the coming two decades. | 97-99 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
