It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.

Deep Inky in color with a very short reddish rim.

Strong nose of blackberries, black currants, black plums, tobacco, cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, spices and peppercorn.

Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, plums, tobacco, blackberries, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth, light vanilla, cedar, licorice, light cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious, yet still young, Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Already drinking beautifully, but feels very young and needs 10 to 20 years in the bottle to mature property.

This 10 year old Single Vineyard Cabernet is nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and fruit forward.

Needed 4 hours in the decanter to open up properly.

Wine Advocate 99 points. Wine Spectator 96 points.

A good quality wine. Complex, powerful and interesting. Always nice to drink these kind of iconic wines. Delicious stuff.

A wonderful sipping wine that also paired nicely with my steak.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

Not shutdown/closed, just not revealing a whole lot. I was impressed by its body and persistent finish. Unfortunate with the timing. — 9 months ago

Well balanced and citrusy notes. Low dosage. Yet not as good as a similar low dosage NV Bereche I had a few days ago. — 4 years ago

Prefer the 6 to the 7, but it’s splitting hairs - they’re both great. Could smell this 5 feet away, tremendous structure and will only get better. — 7 years ago

Colour is very pale with just the lightest hint of coral pink. It’s off-dry with lots of ripe tropical fruits on the noise and palate - cantaloupe, peach, and a hint of floral. It’s a very interesting blend of grapes. — 5 months ago

I corvined this last weekend and put it back in storage for tonight. I had a very different experience & thoughts on this wine last weekend un-decanted. This is wine comes from a period when I loved Caymus. After 2011 when they started picking later and at higher brix’s, they lost me but, got higher Parker scores and rave words from people that like sweeter Cabernet that drinks young.

Last weekend without a decant, very dominate bright cherries and vanilla.

Tonight, the nose reveals, dark, slightly syrupy currants/cassis, blackberries, dark cherries, creamy, black raspberries, blueberries, black plum with lots of skin dominate, baked strawberries, black licorice, vanilla, some clove and a touch nutmeg, underbrush, dry crushed rocks, dry top soil, volcanic minerals, black tea, touch of black coffee expresso, liqueur/dark berry cola, used leather, hints of graphite with ruby, fresh, dark, fresh, dark, red, blue florals with violets.

The body is full, sexy, gorgeous and voluptuous. The structure, tension, length and balance are at the start of its high point with another 7-10 years of good drinking ahead. Dark, slightly syrupy currants/cassis, blackberries, dark cherries, creamy, black raspberries, blueberries, black plum with lots of skin dominating, baked strawberries, black licorice to deep anise, vanilla, some clove and a touch nutmeg, caramel, mocha, dark chocolate, dark spices with just a touch of palate heat, underbrush, used leather, dry crushed rocks, dry top soil, volcanic minerals, black tea, touch of black coffee expresso, liqueur/dark berry cola, used leather, hints of graphite with ruby, fresh, dark, fresh, dark, red, blue florals with violets. The acidity is like a needed waterfall shower. The long finish is, deep, dark, well balanced, elegant, ruby, ripe, polished and persists endlessly.

It’s been awhile and I’ve missed it. This is a very good example of why I used to adore Caymus. — 7 years ago

Quite a nice listan negro dominated blend from the Canary Islands. Great restrained fruit, excellent peppery earthy note, not overwhelming at all but complete. Good pairing with a variety of food at shukette. — 4 years ago
