2014 Caymus "Special Selection" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
97
Int'l Wine Review
Review Date: 07/2017The 2014 Caymus 'Special Selection' Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional wine made from this storied Napa Valley estate. Following some time to open, this incredible Cabernet begins to yield profound aromatics of black cherry compote, blueberry pie and boysenberry along with creosote, black tar, milk chocolate and licorice all soaring from the glass. The mouthfeel is rich, voluptuous and intense, as this wine offers exceedingly dense, concentrated flavors of black cherry reduction, blueberry pie, raspberry liquor and boysenberry, alongside milk chocolate shavings and tar, all cascading on to the long mouth coating finish. Although still youthful, the massive tannins will need some time to soften before it reaches its peak. Nonetheless, this is an absolutely beautifully crafted and exceedingly delicious wine from the Wagner’s, which should cellar gracefully for many years to come. (OB)

Notes
Caymus's "Special Selection" is the pride of the Wagner family. It's their flagship wine, is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage, and is not produced in years where the quality just doesn't meet Chuck Wagner's standards. The "Special Selection" is approachable both in its youth as well as in its maturity.
