August 1, 2022 - PNP. Cork was in pristine condition. Bright garnet color with a light amber edge. Sweet cherry notes with cigar box and light mocha. Ripe, juicy fruits, especially raspberry with cherry cola, white oak and beautifully blended quintessential CA cabernet flavors. Still drinking very youthfully showcasing incredible structure, integrated tannins and a vibrant palate. Loving this wine - kudos to Chuck Wagner and his team - they continually produce outstanding wines.
p.s. Spanish hash lettuce wraps. -

July 23, 2021 - PNP. Deep garnet color. Bright red raspberry, sweet red cherry, light plum hoisin, flint and Asian nuances. Great structured CA Cabernet with lovely layering effect. Definitely ready to get after.
p.s. sous vide then grilled chicken with kapusta, corn on the cob and asparagus. -

April 16, 2021 - 90. This vintage has always been a little heavy on the black currant, black licorice. To me it’s a bit sappy and port-like now. It’s lost a touch of balance without the acidity but it’s where Caymie goes in it’s outer years. Drink up.

January 31, 2021 - Decanted & filtered after a crumbly cork. Deep ruby red with sweet, ripe fruits and cassis. Hoisin, spices and black cherry. Lovely mouthfeel giving it a seamless palate with well integrated tannins. Starts to turn a little pruny after an hour or so. If you have it, we would drink it.
p.s. charcoal grilled prime ribeye with vegetable frittata and grilled asparagus. -
