2012 Caymus “40th Anniversary” Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

February 17, 2015 wholder

382899From one of Napa’s iconic family run wineries, this is a rich, concentrated effort.  There is no doubt from the moment you open the bottle that you’re into a full Napa Cab.  I thought a little more restraint on the oak might actually improve the wine, but that’s honestly a quibble.  As it stands, there’s a great depth of flavour and solid balance.  It could probably age for a couple of decades, but I’m betting you won’t have the patience – it tastes great now.

($72 BCLCB) Very Good
