Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon

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. The entry is plush, with plenty of blackberry and boysenberry fruit, 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.
