Community Tasting Note

Sunday, August 21, 2011 - Caymus wines never cease to amaze me. I've drank a ton of bottles from '06 to '09 over the past three years and have noticed a trend with Caymus: 1) these wines are better the younger they are, and 2) every vintage tastes and ages similarly. If you enjoy Caymus, you no doubt enjoy sweet, hedonistic wines. The younger bottles of Caymus show more of the heddy characteristics. As it ages even a couple of years, it starts to develop a chocolaty aspect that can muddy up the sweetness. The older ones are still great, but they haven't improved to a place where it was worth cellaring the wine. I think the Select ones are what Caymus intended for cellaring. Continuing on, this bottle of'09 was frickin' awesome. Super sweet and balanced with a mouth-popping finish that really did last. Way to go Caymus...
