Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2012 Caymus "40th Anniversary" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (96RP, 92IWR, 91WS). Wine Advocate: "They appear to be immune to some of winedom’s less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. Amazing! (RP)" (10/2014)

Int'l Wine Review
“2012 marks 40th vintage for Caymus, and the Wager Family is celebrating with a special 40th Anniversary label for their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine itself is ultra-ripe and densely concentrated, driven by intense aromas and flavors of sweet dark fruits, blueberries, crème de cassis, vanilla, mocha, herbs and spices. It is full-bodied, richly textured and deeply layered, ending in a long supple finish that leaves behind a thick coating of even more dark fruits, vanilla and spices. (JD) 92+” (06/2014)

Wine Spectator
“Lavishly oaked, with creamy mocha, vanilla, cedar and anise notes at the edge of a rich core of dark berry, plum and black licorice flavors. Tight, focused and persistent, showing a seductive character. (JL)” (11/2014)
