Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon built for the long haul: the 2020 Special Selection from Caymus Vineyards, the Wagner family's winery founded in 1972 on the historic Rutherford property and devoted to Cabernet ever since. It is crafted exclusively from barrels selected for depth, structure, and longevity, then shaped by French oak. In the glass it is opaque and inky, with ripe blackberry, dark cherry, leather, cooked caramel, and forest floor on the nose. The palate follows with concentrated black fruit, cassis, and dark plum carried on fine-grained, abundant tannins. The finish runs long, with cocoa and polished oak. It suits the collector laying down bottles, with aging potential of 15 to 20 years, but it is also generous enough to open now after a good decant. Arriving in a handcrafted wood box, it makes a natural milestone gift. We carry it because it shows the house's fruit-forward richness at its most concentrated and structured, a wine that rewards both patience and a great steak.
Pairs well with
- Dry-aged ribeye — The wine's abundant, fine-grained tannins and concentrated black fruit stand up to the rich, savory depth of well-marbled beef.
- Wild mushroom risotto — Earthy mushrooms echo the forest floor and leather notes on the nose while the dark plum and cassis add contrast.
- Milestone celebration dinner — A boxed, cellar-worthy Cabernet with a long, polished cocoa-and-oak finish suits a refined meal marking a special occasion.

Does this wine need to be decanted?
Decanting for one to two hours is recommended. It gives the wine's depth and aromatic complexity time to unfold, softening its youthful, forward character and opening up the layers of dark fruit, leather, caramel, and baking spice.
