Caymus 50th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
(Napa Valley, California)

Notes from the Winemaker:
This is a wine that celebrates all of the team plus our extraordinary growers. It is a result of happy soils, healthy vines, low crop yield, low to no irrigation, harvest at high ripeness levels - these are the 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 expressed in 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 the wine. 

92 Points - Wine Spectator (2021 vintage):
"A plush, caressing style, with creamed boysenberry and blackberry flavors liberally laced with mocha and singed vanilla notes. A melted black licorice detail coats the finish. For fans of the hedonist style." -JM (4/22/24)
