Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

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. Caymus Special Selection is consistently one of Napa's greatest Cabernets, uncommonly rich, distinctive and complex. The Wagner's choose their best grapes from varied sites, ageing them in mostly new French oak for 16-18 months. This 100% Cab features polished cassis, blackberry, mocha and spice flavors. 94 Points Wine Spectator: "Lush and polished, with waves of cassis and blackberry compote pouring through, underscored by chocolate, espresso crema and roasted vanilla bean. Maintains a lush, velvety feel through the lengthy finish, where flashes of sweet tobacco and warm earth peek through. For the power Cabernet crowd. Best from 2024 through 2038." Winery Notes: "Each year, we set aside the best barrels of our Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley to produce Caymus Special Selection. Distinguished by extremely fine, velvety tannins and enjoyable upon release or with aging. A wine of structure with intense concentration of supple flavors and dark fruits. Caymus Special Selection is the only wine in the world honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s “Wine of the Year.” Tasting Notes: "A blackberry hue, with scents of rich leather, cooked caramel, berries and forest floor. Youthfully forward on the palate, supple and appealing with rich concentration. Tannins are abundant, yet fine, and persist throughout a layering of textural sensation. The richness of this wine correlates with the fine dust of the Napa Valley soils. Finish expresses oak (French barrel) and Caymus fruit-forward impressions. This wine is tannic, rich and squared off by our signature suppleness."
