2007 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon: 750ml

$63.99

about this wine:

Caymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons - a "Napa Valley" and "Special Selection". Both bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through "hang time" - a technique which chances loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to "hang" on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet. Crop thinning, allowing measured sunlight to reach the vine's fruit zone, and waiting for increased ripeness are all part of our viticultural practices. Caymus Cabernets offer a wide array of aromas and flavors including cocoa, cassis and vanilla.

Andy Frieden, JJ Buckley, June 2009

The color is very dark and extracted, almost black with a purple core full of intensity. The nose has a beautiful perfume of black and blue fruits with complexity I have not seen in this wine since the 1997 vintage! The entry is plush, with plenty of blackberry and boysenberry fruit in copious amounts, but the secondary flavors are strong as well. The mocha, vanilla and baking spice aspects are complimented with tobacco, spice and cigar box in good balance. Additionally, the underlying mineral and coffee notes with a touch of graphite adds to this dynamic wines complexity. On the palate, the wine is user friendly with early drinking ability, but the tannins provide excellent structure. Rather expansive in the massive mid-palate, this is a dense and chewy Cab. The finish has just the right amount of well-integrated, fine grained tannins that allows for early drinking and will pair well with protein now, but the massive nature of this baby will reward you for many more years.

Ripe and fleshy, with rich plum, wild berry, spice and savory herb notes that are complex, full-bodied and expansive on the palate, ending with firm tannins and a dash of espresso. Drink now through 2016. 37,800 cases made.

About Winery

The Wagners took the name Caymus from the Mexican land grant known as Rancho Caymus, given to George Yount in 1836, which encompassed what eventually became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding area.

The Wagners produced their first vintage in 1972, consisting of 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then, Caymus has focused their efforts in the production of quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Caymus Vineyards remains 100% family-owned. Today's production is 65,000 cases. Farming grapes remains the priority with the family farming about 350 acres of Napa Valley.
