Deep Ruby with aromas of blue & black fruits, sweet spice & slight mineral character. A blend of mostly Cab Sauvignon with small amounts of Malbec, Petit Verdot & Cab Franc from their estate-owned Napa Valley vineyards, aged 18 months French (62%) & American oak (38%) (about 50% new). Palate, complex flavors, blackberry, plums & cherry with sweet spice, oak & tobacco notes. Well balanced with good acidity & developing tannins. Full-bodied, long finish ending with pepper & wood spice. Nice! — 3 months ago
This Napa wine is full-bodied and plush, with a velvety texture that coats the mouth. The fruit core is ripe and sweet, dominated by dark berries and chocolate flavors. Notes of toasty oak, vanilla bean, and cinnamon round out the flavor profile, making it rich. The tannins are soft making this wine superb. — a month ago

This 9 year old Petite Sirah from California is enjoyable by itself or with food. Elegant and smooth. Fruit forward and robust.
Very much in your face kind of wine, although, I expected it to calm down by now. Feels more like a California Syrah at this point.

Although still young, it is as always a great Cabernet by Caymus. It has a complex structure with dark berry notes. It would be great to drink after 3-5 years. It was tasted during a California trip. — 14 days ago
