Caymus Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Drinking a 3L from 2013 in late ‘24. Love the big format bottles and aging potential. This could go a lot longer I think but is also fine to drink now.
Standard Caymus flavors and aromas that made the brand known. Dark inky crimson color. Blueberries and blackberry fruit mixed with vanilla alongside the tell-tale signs of wet band-aid. Great tannins, medium-to-big acidity, good long finish. Really nice.

With the time the fruit has mellowed although there is still a lot of it. Full and rich. Lots of dark berries. But still some brightness. It’s actually quite good. It can lay down for several more years.

Jan 20th, 2024Not a big Caymus fan, but my 2nd bottle this week! Better than expected. Dark fruit with subtle hints of oak and vanilla that were better integrated than other Caymus experiences. Medium depth. Paired nicely with smoked pork chops.
