Caymus Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Drinking a 3L from 2013 in late ‘24. Love the big format bottles and aging potential. This could go a lot longer I think but is also fine to drink now.
Standard Caymus flavors and aromas that made the brand known. Dark inky crimson color. Blueberries and blackberry fruit mixed with vanilla alongside the tell-tale signs of wet band-aid. Great tannins, medium-to-big acidity, good long finish. Really nice.

Same review of the past dozen I have had.

Chaptelized, tastes a lot like Meiomi. Not a fan. May be an off bottle because I really liked previous vintages.

deep fruit. A hint of mint. It’s amazing how well this has held up. Intense and focused and deep, if a little simple.

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!

In the glass the wine is holding. A little meaty and tired in the nose. Currants and figs.
