2017 Myriad Cellars Vineyard Beckstoffer Georges III Empyrean Napa

(97 points) One of the top two or three wines of the vintage, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III Empyrean boasts an inky purple hue as well as extraordinary notes of blue fruits, melted licorice, scorched earth, and subtle oak. With full-bodied richness, beautiful depth of fruit, mid-palate concentration, and both flawlessly integrated tannins and acidity, this layered, opulent 2017 will benefit from short-term cellaring and cruise for 20-25 years or more.Jeb Dunnuck 1/2020
