This consignor grew up among the vineyards in the Niagara region and has fond memories of eating grapes off the vines at her friend’s family farm. It was during her 20s that she learned to appreciate wine, travelling through France, Italy and eastern Europe for business. In her 60s she began to collect wine seriously, some shipped to her by business associates and others purchased from wine merchants and collectors. The bottles have been meticulously stored in a custom designed wine cellar and were then moved into 2 temperature-controlled wine cabinets.
The score for 2003 Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 92 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Chuck Wagner’s 23 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon comes from such appellations as Rutherford, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Mt. Veeder and Napa Valley. It is blended after 16 months of aging rather than before, which is an unusual practice. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by attractive, sexy aromas of jammy cassis, plums and spice. The wine offers plenty of richness and power as well as supple, silky tannins and an opulent personality. Drink it over the next decade.
