2015 Myriad Cellars "EMPYREAN" Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard
Deep purplish ruby red. Nice nose with blue fruits, dark cocoa, and a little bit of dark gravel. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Dark on the palate with blue and black fruits, lush with spices too. Super long finish with tons of minerality.
Beautiful wine just of the truck last week. Made from a new block to Mike Smith and Myriad Wines on the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford. Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for around 22 months in around 93% new French oak. EMPYREAN is a word that was first used in Late Middle English and originates from the Greek word empurios that litterally translates to 'in fire'. Nowadays this word, as an adjective, means 'belonging to or deriving from heaven' which is a perfect way to describe this wine. Truly an amazing wine and spectacular inaugural vintage for this bottling!
2017 till 2038.
Price Point:
$$$ - Can be purchased through the Estate for $125.00.Deep purplish ruby red. Tight attack on the nose. A little bit of blueberries, dark cocoa, cinnamon, and some blackberries too.
