Product Description
RP96 “The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection has a dense blackish/purple color and creamy, sweet crme de cassis fruit, blackberries, a touch of graphite and vanilla, This exuberant, boisterous, in-your-face style of Cabernet Sauvignon is clearly a fruit bomb, so be warned. Full-bodied and opulent with stunning concentration and richness, the wine has no hard edges and is much in the Caymus style of terrific fruit intensity (most of it black and blue), voluptuous texture, and a stunning finish with plenty of glycerin, wood and spice. The alcohol on the label is listed at 14.8%, which seems about accurate. I have Caymus Special Selection in my cellar back to some of the historic wines made by Chuck Wagners father in the early 1970s, and while the styles gotten more precocious and consumer-friendly, these wines, even the more latter-day styles, have a tendency to age beautifully. This can be drunk now, or cellared for 20+ years.” RP Dec 2015
“I am old enough to remember Chuck Wagner and his father, who I first met at Caymus in the late seventies. This is clearly one of Napa Valleys iconic wineries, as well as one that, amazingly, never went through a bad patch. Obviously, no matter which generation is in the drivers seat (or should I say tractors seat), Caymus Vineyard knows how to deliver flavor and deliciousness.” RP Oct 2014
