Item Description

Savor this Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2015 rated 95 points by Wine Spectator. Comes with ten (10) Riedel Degustazione Red Wine glasses. 

ABOUT THE WINE

A blackberry hue, with scents of rich leather, cooked caramel, berries and forrest floor. Youthfully forward on the palate, supple and appealing with rich concentration. Tannins are abundant, yet fine, and persist throughout a layering of textural sensation. The richness of this wine correlates with the fine dust of the Napa Valley soils. Finish expresses oak (French barrel) and Caymus fruit-forward impressions. This wine is tannic, rich and squared off by our signature suppleness.


95 Rating by Wine Spectator 
This delivers almost unbridled plum sauce, blackberry preserve and melted licorice flavors, but keeps a smoldering edge for form while picking up alluring black tea and incense notes on the broad finish. There’s a long echo of chocolate adding to this hedonist’s delight. Drink now through 2032.

"My journey with the Caymus Vineyards Special Selection began with the 1975 vintage that I enjoyed in the late 1970s—that wine was released at $22 and remained as one of most remarkable wines in California history. Since that experience, I have made sure to follow this wine's path. The 2015 vintage shows the heritage of Napa Valley royalty. TASTING NOTES: This wine embodies the richness and structure that puts it among the world's top producers of Cabernet and Bordeaux styled wines. Its aromas and flavors of bright and bold black fruits, earth, and luxurious oak should make a lovely pairing mate with a thick grilled Porterhouse." (Tasted: March 8, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
