Caymus Special Selection 2007

Caymus 2007 Special Selection showcases architectural power wrapped in velvet precision.

The 2007 Special Selection opens with an almost gravitational pull of concentrated blackberry liqueur and dark chocolate ganache, accompanied by cedar shavings and roasted coffee beans. On the palate, this wine displays remarkable density yet maintains surprising grace - the tannins feel like polished leather rather than sandpaper. Waves of cassis and vanilla bean roll across the mid-palate, while subtle espresso notes emerge on the extended finish. The oak integration here is masterful, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit's natural intensity. This vintage captures the essence of why 2007 stands as a benchmark year for Napa Valley. The wine's architecture suggests it will continue evolving beautifully for another decade, developing tertiary complexities while retaining its core power.

🍷 You seek a Napa Cabernet that demonstrates both muscle and sophistication for milestone celebrations.
