The score for 2016 Caymus Vineyards Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 95 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - This asserts itself through flattery right from the start, with a gush of warmed cassis, açaí berry reduction and plum preserves laced liberally with mocha-accented toast and carried by very plush structure. This is weighty and brimming with fruit, while the toast takes a lengthy encore on the finish. A hedonist's dream. Drink now through 2034.
