Caymus Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Surprised by this. At a stage where the oak is starting to integrate, fruit is dropping, and texturally the wine is drinking great. Noticeable tannins that are softening out. Alc. poked out a bit resulting from an above ideal serving temp. Driven by warm and savory spices, sweet tobacco, iron, and the black fruits are drying out. Not always a fan of this wine upon release but have had some examples with age that have been good. Curious how it will be at the 20 year mark.

Full bodied. Lots of fruit with minerals, a hint of black tea and nice balance. Thanks CB!

Very tasty. Needs decanting. After a half hour fruit starts showing. Still can last another 5 years.

Not my favorite vintage but this Cab continues to improve with age. Drinking much better than a few years ago
