Caymus 2009 delivers concentrated elegance with seamless power and refinement.

The 2009 vintage opens with intense aromas of crushed blackberries and roasted coffee beans, followed by subtle vanilla undertones. On the palate, dense cassis mingles with dark chocolate notes, supported by well-integrated oak that never overwhelms. The finish extends beautifully with espresso richness and fine-grained tannins. This wine shows excellent structure for aging through 2025, displaying Caymus' signature approachability without sacrificing complexity.
