This is their base Cabernet.  It is purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, graphite, slight saw dust, vanilla and spice.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Good acidity.  Concentrated.  On the palate, intense cassis, leather, earth, spice and char.  Long finish.  This is young but drinking very well but will improve.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  Great on its own, this would be classic with a steak.

Purple in color with a rubby rim, opaque and bright.  The nose has cassis, slight black cherry, a bit of new leather, earth and spice.  Full bodied.  Full tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is not a monster cab but there is plenty of fruit.  Flavors of cassis and black cherries with spice and char.  This has depth and should age well.  Good finish.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  It is very nice on its own but probably a bit better with food.  It would be a nice pairing with a roasted brisket.  

This is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, and 2% Cabernet Franc.  inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, cedar, slight graphite and spice.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Nicely balanced.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Young but showing some development.  Flavors of cassis, spice, slight dry leather and char.  Long finish.  This is lovely on its own and will work well with big meats, fowl or veggies.  It worked very well with a simple Pasta dish.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  

This is the basic Cab from Myriad.  Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose has deep with cassis, new leather, slight graphite, cedar and spice.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is drinking well.  Flavors of cassis with a bit of tobacco and spice and char.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  No doubt this will still improve with good cellaring but not harm in drinking so young but give it some air.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  It is great on its own and will work with bigger (fatty) foods.  A nice choice at a Steakhouse.
