Sipping Fine Wine

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!

Wonderful. I really enjoyed this. Nice slightly sweet start with a smooth finish.

We recently had this by the glass at Peaks, NYC. We enjoyed it so much that we bought a few bottles. While I consider this to be a “construction site,” I respect what the Wagner’s have accomplished. Not gonna bother with tasting notes as this is just a cherry compote fruit bomb. Tasted using a coravin as a few glasses represents a meal on its own.

Sweet upfront
A little sour and little smooth. Everyone enjoyed it. Even those that aren't big red wine drinkers.

Beautiful Cab, smooth body full of darkness. Easy, tannic finish.
