1995 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection

Tasting Note:

While it is fashionable to criticize this wine because of its price and the secrecy surrounding the amount produced (who really cares?) the wine is unquestionably outstanding. The 1995 boasts a dark ruby/purple color as well as an attractive bouquet with lavish quantities of toasty new oak and black currants. There is moderate tannin good purity and an open-knit sexy style. If the wine had not fallen a bit short on the mid-palate it would have merited an even higher score. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Based on the fame of this winery and the price of the wine one would expect this Cabernet to compete with Colgin Bryant Family Vineyards Screaming Eagle Araujo and Harlan Estate. It does not. Nevertheless it is an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. Tel. (707) 963-4204 Source: Wine Advocate
