Connoisseurs' Guide, Connoisseur's Guide, April 2012

High in ripeness and generously enriched by scads of creamy, somewhat caramelly, slightly toasty oak, this full and complete wine from Caymus does a masterful job of delivering lots of concentrated currant fruit tinged with notes of blueberry and root beer. It is supple and a tad fleshy in feel and takes full advantage of its ample tannins for some needed spine that serves as an offset to its never-say-die, lengthy fruit on the palate. Put it away for five to ten years.


John Perry, JJ Buckley, August 2011

Dark purple, bordering on black. As soon as the aromas fill the air, you know this is quintessential Napa cabernet, with a beautiful bouquet that offers blackberry, cassis, a touch of anise and a dash of vanilla-laden oak. Full-bodied and sumptuous on the palate, gobs of layered, dark fruit expand before gradually fanning out on the lengthy finish. The sweet tannins provide just the right amount of support, yet this wine is still in its infancy at this stage of development. Year in and year out, Caymus Special Selection never fails to deliver, and this effort is right in line with what we have come to expect from this venerable winery.

So delicious now, you can hardly keep your hands off it. Blackberry tart, ripe blueberry, cassis, milk chocolate, licorice and sweet, smoky cedar flavors flood the mouth, dramatically huge and memorable, and lasting long into the finish. The tannins are obvious, but sweetly ripe and soft. A brilliant evocation of Napa Cabernet, despite a high production level of nearly 30,000 cases, which is about the same size as a Bordeaux first growth. Shows the class and potency this bottling has exhibited for many years, and believe it or not, the price is a relative bargain these days. Drink nowâ_"2020

Temptingly rich and layered, with complex mocha, plum and wild berry fruit that's spicy and aromatic. Full-bodied, gaining depth and turning ever more elegant and detailed, with tannins that give this traction. Drink now through 2019.-J.L.

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.
