from release newsletter:
A combination of five pedigreed Napa Valley vineyards, the ‘Myriad Napa’ is hitting all cylinders in 2016. A later harvest than previous drought years, twenty-sixteen gave us more subtle heat spikes and even ripening across the valley. The peak performance and the mix of four separate prominent Napa Valley AVA’s marry together gorgeously producing a striking and pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Red and blue fruits combine with an upfront and bold entry that is round and plush. Traditional Rutherford dust tannins fill the mid palate with hints cocoa powder, marionberry and detailed clove spice characters. Rich layers of dark chocolate followed by slight forest floor notes glide into a beautiful long and lingering finish. Enjoy this early drinker over the next 1-6 years, while waiting for the single vineyard Cabernets to hit their stride
