2009 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon MAGNUM
Caymus hits the mark for rich, lavishly oaked Cabernet Sauvignon with bold cassis, black cherry, loam and spice flavors that often verge on sweet. These wines offer lush texture along with considerable early appeal. The expensive Special Selection is made from the best lots of Cabernet and is aged in a somewhat higher percentage of new French oak than the Napa bottling. In 2008 they started blending a small amount of Merlot into the wine.
97pts Dark, rich and intense,
a vibrant, deeply concentrated and velvety tannin structure. Full-bodied, this wine packs in lots of rich, chocolaty plum,
black currant, cherry, anise and cedar. Really accelerates the flavors on the
finish, with layers of complexity and depth. Simply Stunning! Approachable now but will be even better
