Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 50th Anniversary Napa Valley 2022 1.0Ltr

This is a wine that celebrates all of the team plus our extraordinary growers. It is a result of happy growers, healthy vines, low crop yeild, low to no irrigation, harvest at high ripeness level – these are all key ingredients of the Caymus style. This vintage especially exhibits an expression of the style which Caymus is known for and I feel is as singular as our approach to making it. Rich and round on the palate, with tannins that are expressed on a textural manner that are non-bitter. Evidence of French oak but not overplayed. Acidity enough for balance but not tart to the palate. The Caymus style allows the consumer to face no hurdles in tasting and enjoying the delicious essence of wine.

Varietal

Cabernet Sauvignon

By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
