Monday, July 13, 2015 - Popped and poured. This is a very nice, not overly oaked, not overly jammy, fruit forward Napa Cab. It seems a little thinner than some I've had, but thats not a bad thing here. I believe the alcohol on this was 15.8 but it didnt bother me. It stood up very nicely to some medium NY strips on the grill with grilled veggies. However I have to say I really enjoyed it much more without the food. Very nice and noticeable blueberry tones on the nose. Caymus is one of those wines I go to when there isnt really much of a WA selection to choose from and I'm rarely disappointed. Do I still think I can get better QPR from many of the WA cabs/red blends than this? - yep.

Day 2- just finished the second half of the bottle. Drinking beautifully. Maybe I'm not so sure about that QPR comment, this was awfully good.
