Wednesday, March 18, 2020 - This is a terrific cab that is just starting to enter it's prime drinking window. Consumed after a short decant. Could have used an additional hour decant. So happy I a couple more bottles in my cellar.

In addition, I had a bottle of the 2014 Myriad G3 cab a couple months ago and I thought that it was still somewhat shutdown/closed especially in comparison to the bottles that I had within the first couple years of its release.
I believe Mike does a great job at all the price points but in my opinion his entry level cabs are some of the best wines that I've had for the money. I just wish they were more readily available especially at the Winery direct price.
