The 2022 Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich and plush profile, showcasing ripe dark fruits like blackberry, black currant, and plum, layered with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and warm spices. It has a velvety texture with smooth, luxurious tannins and balanced acidity, making it approachable upon release yet suitable for short-term aging. The wine’s finish is fruit-forward and lingering, with subtle hints of toasted oak and baking spices adding complexity. While it shares the signature softness and richness of classic Napa Cabernets, it leans toward a more accessible, fruit-driven style without heavy tannic grip. This Cabernet pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, aged Gouda, or hearty roasted dishes, enhancing its savory and chocolatey nuances.
