Plush 2003 Cabernet that prioritizes elegance over power with silky approachability.

This 2003 vintage showcases Caymus's house style with remarkable smoothness. Dark cherry and blackberry flavors meld seamlessly with creamy vanilla and mocha notes from well-integrated oak. The palate feels velvety rather than structured, with gentle tannins that never intrude. While the finish is pleasant if somewhat brief, the wine's immediate charm and polished character make it thoroughly enjoyable now.
