Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon

Possibly California's most consistent producer of great Cabernet, the Wagner family are Napa pioneers. Featuring decadent ripe blackberry flavors with undertones of vanilla and toasted oak. A rich and delicious wine.

The 2013 growing season was another great one in Napa Valley. Deep, red and opulent in color, this wine opens with the vibrant scent of dark cherry and blackberry, subtly layered with warm notes of vanilla. The palate is explosive, bright, balanced – cassis at the center, with flourishes of cocoa and sweet tobacco thatprovide nuance and continually shifting points of interest. Velvetymeshed tannins make this wine lush yet structured, with a texture that grabs attention, expands and unfolds.

Fruit, oak and acidity are held in balance throughout the long, drawn-out finish.

A beautiful ripe, plump, fat and opulent style of Cabernet Sauvignon that Caymus has pioneered, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple color, loads of juicy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, low acidity and no real evidence of oak, but a nice, plush, full-bodied opulence. Drink it over the next decade or more.

The Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is one of the wine world's most popular ultra-premium red wines and satisfies an incredible number of upscale wine lovers. Takes Napa Valley Cabernet into a new direction of super ripe fruit, rounded textures and ultra-lush finishes. Deep ruby, purple color; youthful aromas with lots of wood and vanilla; medium bodied, quite rounded and textured on the palate, precocious and wood-laced on the palate; dryish, may have a hint of threshold sugar, good balance; loaded with vanilla, ripe currants and almost smoke in the flavors; long finish, wood and ripe fruit predominate in the aftertaste.

Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. Since its founding in 1972, Caymus has become renowned as a consistent leader in the production of Napa Valley Cabernet. Grapes for this wine are farmed in 8 of Napa’s 16 sub-appellations, with diversification enabling us to make the best possible wine in a given year. Our Cabernet offers layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe berries.
