Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon California 2023

This is Caymus doing what Caymus does best, widened out: a California Cabernet Sauvignon that pulls fruit from distinguished growing regions across the state rather than Napa Valley alone. In the glass it is deep, dark red with a vibrant purple hue, and the nose leads with ripe blackberry, mulberry and dark plum layered over Dutch chocolate powder, warm cinnamon and a subtle woodsy note. The palate is bold and full-bodied, with blackcurrant, dark cherry, sweet spice and mocha on a plush, round texture. It closes with a long, silky finish of cocoa and dark fruit carried by soft, velvety tannins. It suits anyone who loves the rich, opulent Caymus style and wants a bottle to open tonight. It rewards patience too, since the tasting notes suggest it will keep evolving over the next five to ten years. We carry it because it delivers that hallmark Caymus richness in an approachable form, equally at home at a steak dinner, on a gift list, or tucked into a cellar for later.
