Description
Caymus 2008 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvginon, 1.5L Magnum - 1 Bottle
Rated 94 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Rated 93 points by Wine Spectator
We set aside the best barrels of our Cabernet to produce Special Selection – the only wine in the world honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s “Wine of the Year.” Pushing the limits of richness and concentration, this Cabernet is enjoyable upon release or improves with aging a decade or more. Fine, luxurious tannins give structure to intense flavors of supple cacao bean, chocolate, and dark fruits.
Name of Winery: Caymus Vineyards
Bottle Size: Magnum (1.5L)
Number of Bottles: One
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: Napa Valley
Over the decades, the Napa landscape has changed as much as the essence of our wines. Napa has become a most beautiful agricultural valley, a manicured garden 30 miles in length, and its Cabernet is one of the world’s most revered wines.
Even at Caymus, our approach to producing our top wine has evolved considerably. From the days of me by my Father’s side punching down fermenters with the simple goal of making a good wine that would sell, to today using some of those same techniques with the goal to make a top wine of our Valley. By luck, I grew up in the Rutherford farmland with grapes and prunes surrounding our farmhouse.
