Wine review: Myriad Cellars Beckstoffer Dr Crane ‘Elysian’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Ottawa, ON

December 2023

What an impressive wine from Myriad Cellars. Their 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Beckstoffer’s Dr. Crane Vineyard, planted with Clone 337. This is one of the most prestigious Napa Valley vineyards (next to To Kalon) producing some of the highest rated wines each vintage.

2015 Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet “Elysian” shows a beautiful bouquet of dark fruits, fig, plum, sweet baking spices, pipe tobacco, sage, and graphite minerality. The palate repeats with great intensity, all wrapped in softly textured tannins with beautiful harmony. Great freshness and elegance in this outstanding premium Napa Cab. Decades of life left and showing wonderfully now. Tasted December 2023. 96 points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvino.ca
