Truly a great effort. I was shocked to see a "lowly" 9.0 from pros on this wine. I'm generally a hard mark for Napa, and I think this one of the most victorious of the vintage (2012)! If you want to convert Caymus drinkers to cult TRB styles, this is the wine. Young and undeveloped, but quite an exciting wine to pop early. Full of vibrant red and dark fruit, fig, tar, spice, cedar and subtle, sticky, sappy tannins. Comes off a bit hot, I'd guess around 15% or more ABV, no matter what the label claims. Exciting and spontaneous as youth, to be truly enjoyed hot and young.
