2019 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Elysian Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard
6/19/2023 - ageverett Likes this wine:
Also popped a 2019 Realm Dr. Crane
Slow ox for 4 hours. Off the bat, the Elysian was more expressive, and the preferred wine. The Realm needed food a bit more. Both with massive, lengthy finishes.
Revisited later, and it was holding its stride well. Not sure it was noticeably improved, but certainly didn't fall off.
This is certainly high 90s if not approaching 100 for me. Beautiful vino.

2019 Realm Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard
6/19/2023 - ageverett Likes this wine:
Also popped a 2019 Myriad Elysian
Both wines slow ox at cellar temp for 4 hours.
Elysian was the preferred wine off the bat - more expressive overall - with the Realm having a little more back end/weight.
Then with the prime rib, the Realm really shined - was great with the food.
Revisited each several hours later. I think the Realm opened up a tick more, while the Elysian maintained an excellent stride. Both these wines have long, powerful finishes.
Right now, probably take the Elysian in isolation, especially if pressed for time on air/decanting or having without food. But both are amazing wines.

2020 Quivet Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
2/9/2023 - ageverett Likes this wine: 95 Points
Pop and pour. Incredibly impressed with this wine. I gave my wife a glass blind (she has a better palate than me) and she said "Wow! What is that, a Schrader?"
High praise. But speaks to the deliciousness of this wine right out of the gate. Don't know they will get better with age, but doubt I will have the patience to find out! So good right now.
