MYRIAD CELLARS CABERNET SAUVIGNON BECKSTOFFER GEORGES III EMPYREAN 2016 (2)

Napa Valley.
1 x scraped label.

One-hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon with a deep purple-black color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Empyrean rolls sensuously out of the glass like Cleopatra from her carpet, revealing incredibly alluring kirsch, Black Forest cake, warm blackcurrants and black raspberry scents with compelling suggestions of cinnamon stick, rose hip tea, cloves and forest floor plus a hint of pencil shavings. The full-bodied black fruit layers dance suggestively on the palate with lots of floral and red fruit sparks and a velvety frame, finishing long and spicy. October 2018 Drink: 2020-2049 WA 98

MYRIAD CELLARS CABERNET SAUVIGNON BECKSTOFFER VINEYARDS GEORGES III 2016 (2)

Napa Valley.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard is a little youthfully mute to begin—with coaxing, stunning black cherries, blackcurrant cordial and licorice scents emerge, backed up by fragrant earth and lilacs notions and wafts of black pepper, cinnamon and cloves. Full-bodied and laden with black fruit and spicy layers, the palate is built like a brick house, with firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with a lively menthol kick. October 2018 Drink: 2019-2047 WA 95+
