A vibrant deep purple color with a sweet-scented nose. On the palate, bold yet elegantly ripened dark berry and black cherry fruit, dark currants and smooth tannins. Very young and should benefit nicely with more time in the bottle but drinking well right now. 93 points at this stage in my opinion.

Intense purple color, dark berry fruits, black and blueberries, dark currants with some plum. Full-bodied appearance but mid weight on the palate with some tannins. A good midweek wine for a fair price locally. 90+ approaching 91 points.

I can't believe how much I have enjoyed the Myriad Napa Valley Cabernet and the Scarlett Cabernet. Fortunately I have been able to put away some of the Scarlett and a few of the Myriad Cabs.
5/11/2015 5:07:00 PM - Hey Yack Man, you seem to have very similar taste in wine as me and was wondering if you would mind giving me a few suggestions for some California reds that are similar to the 2010 Hewitt. I love big, chewy, plummy fruit bombs, they can't be too dense for me honestly. Up to around $100/bottle is OK. Please email me at marty@modernbathroom.com if you have any ideas. I really appreciate it. This isn't some kind of solicitation or whatever, I just can't figure out how to Private Message you (I'm new to this site).
