The rich. dark-ruby color of this wine offers a promise of the depth to come. Aromas and flavors of sweet. fully ripe black currants form the big heart of this wine. with notes of mocha/chocolate. black cherry. anise and spice interweaving seamlessly. first in the nose and then more explosively in the mouth. The texture is surprisingly velvety and supple for a wine of this extraction and density. attesting to the fine grain of the tannins and the balance of fruit and oak. The finish holds pure and true for long minutes. the impression of ripe fruit lingering to the end.
Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: This stunning. inky/plum/purple-tinged 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection boasts a glorious fragrance of creme de cassis. licorice. toasty oak. spice box. cassis and vanillin. Full-bodied. opulent. flashy and irresistible…
- Wine Enthusiast: This young wine is fairly tough now. and the fruit is hiding behind the oak and tannins. Like many keepers. it’s in a trough. and will go through its ups and downs. Eventually. the cherries and blackberries should emerge. but it doesn’t seem like one of the great Special Selections.
Producer Information
In 1972. Chuck Wagner started Caymus Vineyards with his parents. Charlie and Lorna. with a humble plan and an uncharted future. The Wagner family were farmers with deep roots in the Napa Valley – in 1857. Chuck Wagner’s great-great grandfather captained a wagon train to California from Bible Grove. Missouri. Working together for decades. Chuck Wagner and his parents established the family’s work ethic. appetite for innovation. down-to-earth sensibility. and deep appreciation of the pleasures of good food and wine enjoyed with family and friends. Today. Caymus Cabernet is one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated wines. Made from grapes farmed in 8 of Napa Valley’s 16 appellations. the wine has a signature style that is dark in color. with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as it is in maturity. Chuck Wagner continues to make two world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignons – Caymus Napa Valley and Caymus Special Selection. Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is the only wine in the world to be honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s Wine of the Year for the 1984 and 1990 vintages.
