A powerhouse Napa Cabernet showcasing the concentrated elegance of the 2012 vintage.

The 2012 Caymus opens with intoxicating aromas of dark chocolate shavings and ripe blackberry compote. On the palate, waves of black cherry liqueur meld seamlessly with vanilla bean and toasted cedar, creating remarkable depth without overwhelming weight. Silky tannins provide structure while allowing the fruit to shine. The finish lingers with notes of espresso and dark plum, revealing this wine's serious aging potential over the next decade.
