bouquet of dark berries and cassis that open up to reveal black cherry,
currant, blueberry, chocolate, spice and smoke flavors on the palate. A
broad mouthfeel with firm texture at this point, this fruit-filled wine
holds it's power through the long, velvety finish. made from fruit from the Caymus Vineyard...100% Cabernet…from a dry
farmed 15 acre parcel on the 73 acre vineyard – where the vine will
conserve energy to focus on the fruit, not the foliage…A wine aged for
30 months in French Oak…3,500 cases made... <b><font size="4" color="#ff0000"><br /></font><font size="4" color="#ff0000"> </font><br />2006 Vintage Ratings:<br />94ptsWS</b> "Firm, intense and well-structured, with a mix of spicy oak, red and black currant, mineral, sage and dusty berry. Turns elegant and refined, yet shows a sturdy backbone on the finish. Best from 2009 through 2014." -JL
<br /><br /><b>92-94ptsWA</b> "A barrel sample of the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection offers terrific fruit intensity and purity, a more laid-back style, a meaty, chewy texture, and impressive opulence as well as length. It should evolve for 10-15 years." RP
"Caymus' Special Selection bottling was first produced in 1975, and every vintage since the original rendition of the wine has stayed true to its name. Favored grape clusters from individual blocks are set aside for Special Selection. The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak barrels. Special Selection has long been a favorite of mine, being one of those wines that is difficult to describe; you just like it." Gerald D. Boyd
