Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2012

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is, big, rich, voluptuous and totally sexy. Mocha, chocolate, plums, sweet spices and black cherries jump from the glass in this full-bodied, intense wine. This is one of the more immediate wines of the vintage, but all the elements are very nicely balanced. Once again Caymus has produced a gorgeous Special Selection that is delicious on its own, but that is also remarkable for a relatively large production of 9,600 cases that will make it easy to find. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. -Antonio Galloni


Ryan Moses, JJ Buckley, October 2012

Opaque inky core with a bright fuchsia rim. The nose is coated with fine French vanilla and follows through with juicy dark red cherry, ripe plum, and a hint of baking spice. The palate is incredibly warm and rich, with mouthwatering blackberry, pure cherry coulis, and crème de cassis, supported by smooth tannins and a lingering finish. Although dense and brooding, there is an overall sense of refinement and class to this bottling, as it is already firing on all cylinders right now. Regardless, it will be a long-lived vintage that will prove rewarding over the next fifteen years or more. A must-have for any fan of Caymus Special Selection.

Wine Spectator, May 2013

A seductive style that’s openly fruity, showing supple plum and black cherry notes, with floral scents and spices, turning creamy and gaining a mocha-espresso-vanilla scent that’s enticing. Finishes with a smooth texture, fine-grained tannins and then another burst of fruit. Drink now through 2025. From California . — 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.
