Tasting Notes
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is beautiful, especially in the vintage. Ripe blue fruits, cassis, violets, and darker chocolate notes all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a ripe, layered, sexy profile that's already drinking nicely. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming 15 years or so.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 22 months in French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it races out with notes of crushed blackcurrants, menthol, and black raspberries, followed by hints of lilacs and pencil shavings plus a touch of crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is tightly knit with soft acidity and grainy tannins, finishing a lingering ferrous note.
Myriad's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard showcases awesome black cherry fruit alongside some deep, earthy notes and cinnamon. Imagine tasting brandied cherries in liquid form but without the heat. It's full-bodied and supple, with an almost creamy mouthfeel and a plush, lingering finish.
