Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
New release! One of Napa Valley's Classic Cabernets. Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is the only wine in the world twice honored as "Wine of the Year" by Wine Spectator Magazine. Limited. previous vintage 95 Points Wine Spectator: "This delivers almost unbridled plum sauce, blackberry preserves and melted licorice flavors, but keeps a smoldering edge for form while picking up alluring black tea and incense notes on the broad finish. There’s a long echo of chocolate adding to this hedonist’s delight. Drink now through 2032."

Fruity, deep berry, dry but heavy full fruit taste with a bit of tannins. Needs time to aerate but smooth drinking wine with lots of complex flavor.

Deep ruby in color. A nose of rich cassis and tobacco, and a mouth that matches with jammy dark fruits (cassis, boysenberry) and toasty oak. Medium tannins and acidity. A heavy mouthfeel gives the wine an almost sticky quality, with the fruit flavors lasting through a generous finish.

First time I’ve ever rated a perfect 10. This wine gifted to hubs is a remarkable smooth wine. Full of cherry, plum and a hint of smoke. The wine is smooth from the get go and opens up into a silkiness that is spectacular. Beautiful. With veggie pizza night on Christmas 2021. Anna and kobi home! .

Not how I remember Special Select...now made in the over ripe dare I say it 689 style. Rounded, jammy with a lingering finish. Drink now, not built for aging.
