2015 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon

Community Tasting Note

TomNichols Does not like this wine:

76 Points

Thursday, December 21, 2017 - I have been honored to share with others, many bottles of the great Caymus Special Reserve 1990, and Latour 1982. These wines were criticized in their youth as being "too fruity". I have enjoyed a few bottles of intense Belle Gloss. This wine, however, is definitely a disgrace to the family. It is only appropriate for pancakes. Five years from now, thirty years from now, it will only be for pancakes. Much better to invest in Vermont maple syrup. If you think this is Cabernet, you are the victim
of fake news.
