    February 22, 2024 - Superb. Plenty of runway left for this sumptuous, rich, purple, fruit-filled, luxuriant Napa Cab. Bravo, Caymus!

    January 1, 2024 - This wine may be past its prime, but in a good place for folks that like to drink their wine older. Little to no tannins, very soft and sweet. Decanted for a couple hours before drinking.

    October 23, 2022 - I agree with comments that Caymus cabs are too fruit forward without nuance. But will admit that age has treated us one well. A little more balance, slight tannins, some oak.
