Caymus 2004 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $136

Beautiful wine, lush and soft in the style of this warm vintage. It’s immediately enjoyable for the wealth of cherries, blackberries and raspberries, with a decadent edge of melted milk chocolate. Oak adds extra dimensions of smoky vanilla, caramel, butterscotch and gingerbread. Those who think they don’t like red wine will enjoy. Hard to tell if it has the… — S.H. (8/1/2007)

Caymus 2009 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $130

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… — S.H. (3/1/2012)

Caymus 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $70

This extraordinary wine possesses an enormous wealth of black cherry, blueberry, cassis and espresso flavors, wrapped in fine, well-toasted oak. Has that rare quality of elegance, in which all the parts work together in harmony. Thoroughly dry, it’s marked by a firm, astringent tannic structure now, but is a certain cel lar candidate. Should begin to blossom by… — S.H. (6/1/2006)

Caymus 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $70

Dense, dark and deep—it’s the three Ds of Napa Cabernet on full display. Aromas of plumcake and bacon get it going, followed by kirsch and blueberry flavors. The smoky, woody finish has essences of campfire, chocolate and espresso. This packs a ton of flavor and it’s highly recommended for fans of powerful California wines. — M.S. (11/15/2002)

Caymus 2000 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Price $136

A bright-edged wine, redolent of Bing cherry, raspberry, blackberry, anise, spice, cedar and herb flavors. Tannins are powdery, firm and ripe. They frame the wine in a toasty embrace, ending with a plush finish. Consistently a benchmark from the heartland of California Cabernet. — J.M. (12/15/2003)

Caymus 2003 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $136

Young and dense, almost misleading in its soft fruitiness, but there’s tremendous power, and despite the appearance of approachability, it would be a mistake not to cellar this wine. It’s explosive in fruit and berry flavors, and the tannins are so melted, you could easily open it tonight. But this is a wine with proven ageability. Should begin to mature by 2010… — S.H.
