2008 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Districtmore |
12/25/2015 - BordeauxMN Likes this wine: 93 pointsI decanted 3 hours. This Myriad was very nice and an excellent QPR for $65.00. Great nose with a lot of dark fruit. It was very smooth on the palate. I think that it was still too young to open even with a 3 hour decant. I am not going to open another bottle for a few more years. It will age for many more years. I can see why Mike Smith is such a popular winemaker. You can't beat the quality of Napa Cab that you get for the price. |
