Caymus Vineyards, Napa Valley, Special Selection, Cabernet Sauvignon 1985

Into neck

95 Points CellarTracker

Memory of the old Caymus barrels used by Charlie when this was opened, bright, brilliant, beet red in the glass, lovely, rich fruit on the nose with mint, black berry, touch musty, opened to rich fruit, improved greatly as the day wore on, shows good acid on the palate, lovely, long berry fruit on the finish with a lingering, flavorful aftertaste. 12/25/2023

Drinking a bit of romance here-this bottle was bought on a ski trip to Utah of all places back in 1988- so the score is likely 90 + 3 for the romance. Still a mouthful of great California cab. Has taken on the ripe plummy flavours of old cab, but still some grip, and mouthfeel. Lovely wine, a bit past its peak-but who can complain at 32 years old! 1/13/2018
