Caymus Vineyards
California Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
Tried their second release from Caymus Vineyards, this wine is a California-appellation Cabernet Sauvignon, so grapes can come from anywhere in CA! Dark Ruby, aromas of ripe black fruits, smoky tobacco and pepper spices. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with herb, cacao, espresso and vanilla oak, after it opened up. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, cacao, vanilla and earthy herbs. Drinkable now! Seems a bit pricey!

Smooth and full of flavorful black and red fruit notes. No need to open up, wonderful from the very first sip.

Herbaceous notes lead into dark berries, good tannin structure and pleasing, toasty finish.

Very fruity with layered notes. If I’d blind tasted it, I would’ve thought it’s a Zinfandel.

A gift from Jon and Kari. This edition of Caymus is made from grapes sourced from all over California (hence the name, duh). Although the oak influence is a bit deafening, I do think I would choose this over "regular" Caymus. Not amazing, and not worth $40, but it's better than being at work today.
Listening to Kathleen Edwards. I was late to the party with her most recent album, but it is very nice
