The Cali cab tasting is a yearly event and is usually one of the best tasting of the year at the schamburg binny's location. A great line-up of wines were poured. Kudos to Andre for putting together another great event.
2007 Dominus Estate 92 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Nice dark red coloring. Only had about a one ounce pour so limited notes here. Nice plums, casis, floral notes. Tannins we smooth, but the wine was holding back a bit. Got dark fruit and licorice. Not sure this bottle was showing it's best, wasn't decanted at all.

2008 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection 95 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Dark purple in color. Just like the '09 caymus estate bottling this had a gorgeous nose of plums, mocha/coffee and a menthol component. Palate staining dark fruit with vanilla and chocolate. Tannins are well hidden behind the fruit. Nice smooth sexy finish.

2009 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 94 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Great dark almost purple coloring. What a seductive nose; sweet cherries, chocolate. On the palate this wine was silky smooth, tannins were there but well hidden by lush dark cherries, chocolate and a beautiful vanilla/cake icing flavor. Very port like. This is a wine I could drink by itself all night long. Simply sexy.
