Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruit and floral spice, pure Caymus signature style, easy drinking, approachable as always. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry, black cherry and currants with complex spice showing notes of cacao, cinnamon and rich vanilla oak. Fine soft tannins, nice mouthfeel, great balance with acidity, long finish, ending with notes of oak and mineral notes. Nice! — 8 days ago

It is #FridayCabernetfix time. Here is a gorgeous one from Napa Valley.

Dark ruby in color with a wide red/ brick rim. A very pretty color.

On the nose blueberries, black currants, spices, cedar, cooked cherries, black licorice, vanilla, tobacco, green pepper, pencil lead, earth, herbs, light vegetables, dark chocolates, dark coffee and peppercorn. Very nice complexity on the nose.

Medium plus in body and soft, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, wood, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, espresso, chocolates, earth, light vegetables, bitter herbs and graphite.

Long finish with fine tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Nicely balanced with a tangy and spicy finish.

Not your typical Napa Cabernet, which is nice to see. Showing lots of fruit and earth notes, that make it very interesting.

This 8 year-old from the great 2012 vintage is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Needs 90 minutes to open up properly and blossom. I had a little taste right out of the bottle, and let it be for 90 minutes. When I came back, what a big difference on the nose, especially, so be patient for that lovely nose.

This is a wine to savor. I loved smelling on it for a long time.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Great with the Brie cheese.

14.5% alcohol by volume.
