The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon flows with layers of mint, violet, black berries and minerals, showing gorgeous delineation and nuance. This vibrant, crystalline Cabernet Sauvignon impresses for its exceptional overall balance and total sense of finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023. These are the first wines I have tasted from Myriad Cellars, Mike Smith’s new project. I have a slight preference for 2008 versus 2009 when it comes to the Cabernets, as the 2008s seem to have a touch more delineation and structure than the 2009s, which come across as a bit more forward. Both vintages are going to be a lot of fun to watch over the coming years. Tel. (707) 287-1630
