Caymus Special Selection 2013

A brooding powerhouse that rewards patience with extraordinary depth and elegance.

The 2013 Caymus Special Selection demands your patience, revealing its secrets reluctantly after proper aeration. Initial restraint gives way to magnificent waves of concentrated blackberry liqueur and cassis, intertwined with dark chocolate shavings and freshly ground espresso beans. The palate delivers serious weight without losing finesse, showcasing vanilla-laced oak that frames rather than dominates the intense fruit core. Firm tannins provide excellent structure while maintaining approachability. The finish extends beautifully, leaving traces of cocoa and sweet spice that linger long after the last sip.

🍷 You appreciate Napa Cabernet at its most serious and want a wine that evolves dramatically in the glass over an evening.

Pairs with: Dry-aged ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs with coffee-cocoa rub, Aged hard cheeses with dark chocolate, Wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil
