Note di degustazione
Pure perfection, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicus is all Cabernet Sauvignon from the Paradise Hills Vineyard in Yountville that spent 18 months in 100% new French oak. This monumental effort offers up incredible notes of blueberries, violets, ground herbs, graphite, and spice, and it changes and evolves beautifully with time in the glass. Deep, full-bodied, refined, and seamless, it cuts a focused path across the palate and carries incredible amounts of fruit and richness while staying seamless, elegant, and finesse-driven. It’s already impossible to resist, but it will benefit from short-term cellaring and cruise for 2-3 decades. Hats off to winemaker Graeme MacDonald.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicus Paradise Hills Vineyard is a total stunner and one of the great wines of the vintage. Time in barrel has done wonders to marry all the elements. Gracious and soft-spoken, with superb textural finesse, the 2016 captures all the best qualities of this site. Readers should expect a mid-weight, polished Cabernet that is more about persistence than impact. Time in the glass brings out hints of cedar, tobacco and scorched earth and yet the 2016 remains powerful, virile and in need of cellaring. The track record for the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicus is short, but even in the first few vintages I have seen this wine shut down pretty hard after bottling. Readers should be in no rush to open bottles.

The 2016 Mythicus Paradise Hills Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 19 months in French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it's a little closed to begin, opening out to reveal crushed blackcurrants, blackberry compote, mulberries and unsmoked cigars with hints of pencil shavings, anise, black soil and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, very structured and possessing layer upon layer of tightly knit black fruits, it finishes long and earthy. 148 cases produced.
