2007 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
92 (WS) Ripe and fleshy, with rich plum, wild berry, spice and savory herb notes that are complex, full-bodied and expansive on the palate, ending with firm tannins and a dash of espresso. Drink now through 2016.—J.L.
95 pts We are excited about the 2007
Caymus as this vintage is reminiscent of the legendary 1994 vintage which scored 95 pts (WS)!. It has
the same lush fruit flavor of the 2002 and 2003 vintages with a well
balanced tannin structure. The color is
very dark with a purple core. The nose has a beautiful perfume of blackberry
and blueberry. Rather expansive in the massive mid-palate, this is a dense and
chewy Cab. With a hint of semi sweet cocoa then finishing with a deliciously
savory hint of lightly toasted caramel. The finish has a magnificent tannin
structure and that allows for early drinking, but the massive nature of this great
wine will age beautifully and reward you for years to come. Al Jabarin, Calwine
This is a California Wine.
