Myriad Cellars, located in Napa Valley, was established by winemaker Mike Smith, who released his first vintage in 2005. The winery is now operated alongside his wife, Leah. The name "Myriad," derived from Greek, reflects the countless elements involved in winemaking. The winery is known for its artisanal approach, with a very small production and meticulous attention to detail, as Mike personally oversees all cellar work. Mike transitioned to winemaking after a career in a family courier business, moving to Napa Valley in 2004. His winemaking style is described as "purist," adapting techniques to each vintage while consistently using new French oak barrels. Myriad sources grapes from prestigious vineyards, including several Beckstoffer Heritage Vineyards. The winery has received significant acclaim, boasting over 600 scores above 92 from respected critics. Visitors can expect a range of wines, including a refreshing Rosé of Pinot Noir and a unique Sémillon from the Tofanelli Vineyard. Myriad Cellars emphasizes quality and craftsmanship, making it a noteworthy destination for wine enthusiasts.
