Caymus Vineyards
Rutherford, California, USA
14.6% abv
One liter bottle
I went to La Bistecca tonight for dinner and Jerry said they
had this bottle available and I just had to have it. The 750 ml bottle should run around 60 bucks
retail. The one liter bottle at a
wonderful restaurant like this set me back 140.
It paired well with my filet mignon. Damn, I just love their filet.
Being young, only 2012, I thought it was ready to enjoy now
and should age well. The boysenberry and
blackberry fruits were sitting there in the front row. Nice fresh oak; some toasted vanilla bean seemed to float around on the back of the palate;
silky satin mouthfeel; tannins were well controlled for such a young Cab. I’ll be picking up a case of this.
