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.

With the time the fruit has mellowed although there is still a lot of it. Full and rich. Lots of dark berries. But still some brightness. It’s actually quite good. It can lay down for several more years.

Lovely! Celebrated my daughter’s college graduation with a 2013 bottle. Hearty and fruity. Paired well with beef tenderloin.

2013 vintage was superb. Dark purple color. No aftertastes. Soft berries and earth.

We had the 2013 Vintage on 5/24/20. There are tastes of plum, blackberry and spice. The tannins smoothed out over several hours. This is a very good wine that is fruit forward and truly New World. Also, a good value. If one spends more money, better wines will be found.
