The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard is stunning, and certainly not far off the smaller production Elysian release, although it has a more open, sexy, ready to go style. Loads of mulled blackcurrants, dried violets, chocolate, tobacco, and cedar pencil notes give way to an incredibly sexy, full-bodied 2012 that has loads of fruit, no hard edges, and the weightless, elegant style that sets the 2012 vintage apart. It's a stunning wine to drink over the coming 15-20 years.

Dark red cherries, plums, flowers, mint and spices meld together in Myriad's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane. The typical Dr. Crane succulence comes through in spades in a soft, beautifully textured Cabernet Sauvignon that is open and expressive today. The 2012 should drink well for another decade or so.
