The Special Selection Cab Sauv V.2019 🍷is a
bold and plush expression of Napa Valley Cabernet, this 2019 vintage brings together power and polish in Caymus’ signature fruit-forward style.

👃 Aromas leap from the glass, ripe blackberries, dark cherries, baked blueberries, and cassis, layered with notes of cocoa nibs, espresso, and a dusting of black pepper.

👄 The palate is opulent, yet surprisingly balanced. Velvety tannins, rich fruit concentration, and underlying warmth from subtle spice and oak create a seamless mouthfeel. The finish? Long, luscious, and memorable, dark fruit and mocha-like richness linger with elegance.

Mouthfeel overall: Silky, full-bodied, and undeniably smooth. A wine that delivers hedonistic pleasure now, yet structured enough to reward a few years in the cellar.

A quintessential Caymus: juicy, luxurious, and crowd-pleasing, but with poise. Cheers to a Napa classic done right. 🥂 — 11 days ago

Stylistically similar to Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich and fruit forward with loads of oak influences. Probaly slightly more jammy than Caymus, it also has a bit more minerality nuance.
Undeniably delicious and easy to drink, it might benefit from several more years of bottle age. — a month ago

A powerhouse Napa classic showing its age with grace and density. The 2012 vintage leans fully into Caymus’ signature fruit-forward opulence, offering a deeply concentrated and aromatic experience.

👃 Bursting with overripe black cherries, baked blueberries, and fig compote, layered over leather, toasted oak, and a warm touch of vanilla spice. Aromas are rich, seductive, and unmistakably bold.

👄 On the palate, it’s full-bodied, plush, and multi-layered, with flavors of cooked dark berries, espresso, and unsweetened dark chocolate. The tannins have softened beautifully, giving way to a silky texture and a dry, gently fading finish that still echoes with flavor.

Mouthfeel overall: Velvety, dense, and evolving, the age is starting to mellow the edges, but the wine still holds depth, richness, and a long tail of flavor. Caymus lovers, this vintage hits all the lush, hedonistic notes.

Drink now, or enjoy watching the last stretch of its maturity unfold over the next 2–3 years. 🍇🍫🖤 — 11 days ago

Earthy, funky red fruit front with notes of cigar and dark cherry. Dry, wooly finish. Straightforward, but lovely. Just red fruit, oak, smoke, and tannins. — 23 days ago

This Napa wine is full-bodied and plush, with a velvety texture that coats the mouth. The fruit core is ripe and sweet, dominated by dark berries and chocolate flavors. Notes of toasty oak, vanilla bean, and cinnamon round out the flavor profile, making it rich. The tannins are soft making this wine superb. — 3 months ago
