2021 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon elle, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review

The fruit for this came from the Lewelling Ranch vineyard. Inky purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright. The nose is deep with cassis, boysenberries, dark chocolate, black pepper and spice. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, this is tight but opens with air. Delicious. Flavors of cassis, dark chocolate, slight forest floor and spice. Long finish. If drinking soon, give it a long decant but better yet, wait a few more years and then drink over the next twenty. Great on its own, this will work with big fatty dishes (not seafood).

Top 50 California Cabernet Sauvignons to Try Before You Quit Drinking (a non-dump bucket list if you will!)

In putting together a list of the top California Cabernets, there is sure to be some disagreement. I tried to include those wines that have a track record, the wineries still making great wines, those that seemed to have the commitment for the future and some personal favorites. I am sure I left some out. 1. Shafer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select – It’s always hard to name the number one wine. But this has a track record that’s very long. Even in less than stellar vintages, it is an outstanding wine. They just don’t seem to make a dud. My only complaint is the price at over $200 a bottle. But, in comparison to other Napa Cabs or elsewhere in the world, this is a fair price.

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.

Beautiful bottle. Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate, slight graphite and spice. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, this is delicious. Great balance. Flavors of cassis, blueberries, dark chocolate and spice. Long finish. This is young but drinks nicely with a bit of air. It will get better. Drink over the next twenty to thirty years. Great on its own, for now, stick to rich or fatty meats, but also roasted vegies will work.
