Community Tasting Note

  • ZACHWHITE wrote: 88 points

    January 28, 2015 - So you have to understand this does not taste like the Caymus of previous vintages. This is a California fruit-bomb, and there is nothing wrong with that. But if you are looking for complexity, and layers, look elsewhere. This has BRIGHT flavors of blackberry, cherry, balanced with a light influence of oak. This tends to be favorite among "I only drink Napa-Cab" customers.

Obviously in 10 years the tannins will soften out and the wine will become more delicate. Whether or not it will loose the sweet aspect or not, I'm not sure. Personally I grabbed a couple bottles and threw them in my cellar just to see what happens.
