really big... way too big for me... wish we could recreate the 1976 - 1999 period in CA cab country again... every try the Caymus cab from 1989... NOTHING like the post 2000 Caymus, but simply gorgeous

very nice, but crushed by the 2002 Ridge Monte Bello the night before... this wine was filled with beautiful fruit but in that sense a little simple, even if very satisfying... med plus body but still elegant, wonder if some complexity is hiding and might come out if you wait another ten'ish years

Beautiful deep purple color. Luscious nose of sweet berries, dark cherries and cloves. Lovely mouth feel with well integrated tannins. A big hit with all even the pinot crowd.

Holy smokes, this is drinking perfectly right now! The nose indicates new French oak with aromas of vanilla and baking spices. Fruit is still very present with a dense core of black fruit. Almost bordering on too rich on the palette, but the solid core of fine grained tannin makes this wine perfectly balanced and delicious. The fruit and structure are totally integrated. Loooonnng finish. Drink now through 2030.

Love this. It’s coming towards the end of its life if you like fruit flavors in your Cabs, but if you enjoy leather and earthen flavors it likely has a fe2 more good years left.
