Caymus Vineyards 2018 1 L

Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe, velvety tannins ? as approachable in youth as in maturity. We farm Cabernet grapes in eight of Napa?s 16 sub-appellations, with diversification enabling us to make the best possible wine in a given year. Our Cabernet offers layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe dark berries.

Caymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons ? a ?Napa Valley? and the venerable ?Special Selection?. Both Cabernet bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through ?hang time? ? a technique which chances the loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to ?hang? on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins of the grapes. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet. Crop thinning, allowing measured sunlight to reach the vine?s fruit zone, and waiting for increased ripeness are all part of our viticultural practices. Caymus Cabernets offer a wide array of aromas and flavors including cocoa, cassis and vanilla.
