Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Special Selection 2017

Consistently one of Napa’s greatest Cabernets, uncommonly rich, distinctive and complex. The Wagners choose their best grapes from varied sites, ageing them in mostly new French oak for 16-18 months. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon features polished cassis, blackberry, mocha and spice flavors.

Not yet professionally reviewed; 2016 vintage rated 95 points by Wine Spectator: “This asserts itself through flattery right from the start, with a gush of warmed cassis, açaí berry reduction and plum preserves laced liberally with mocha-accented toast and carried by very plush structure. This is weighty and brimming with fruit, while the toast takes a lengthy encore on the finish. A hedonist’s dream. Drink now through 2034.”
