Caymus 2019 delivers concentrated Napa opulence with surprising finesse.

The 2019 Caymus opens with an intoxicating bouquet of dark chocolate ganache and ripe blackberries, layered with cedar shavings and a whisper of violet. On the palate, this Cabernet demonstrates remarkable concentration without heaviness - waves of black cherry liqueur cascade across velvety tannins, while vanilla bean and mocha notes emerge from thoughtful oak integration. The mid-palate reveals unexpected complexity: dried plum, espresso crema, and a mineral backbone that speaks to excellent vineyard sources. What sets this vintage apart is its textural sophistication - the wine feels both muscular and graceful, with acids that provide lift rather than grip. The finish stretches impressively, leaving traces of dark cocoa and blackberry compote. While approachable now, this wine possesses the structure to evolve beautifully through 2032, developing tertiary notes that will reward patient cellaring.
