I plowed through a spicy sausage stuffed green pepper with this as a companion. Floral notes and an exotic sandlewood flavor. Finish was thin, but I'm not complaining — 9 years ago

I don't understand Caymus-haters. Sure, the setting didn't hurt, but with a half-hr decant the nose was rich cassis, vanilla. Showing a little age, the dark red fruit, tobacco and oaky-rich tannins were smooth as silk. Ready but could go for 5-10 years. Not sure I could've picked this out from an '05 Special Selection I tried a few months back. — 10 years ago

There are many claiming they've started adding flavoring beginning with the 12 vintage. I'm going to drink a 12 with a friend this week to see if these speculations are founded. I had an 07 recently that was very good. Their 94 SS is still one of the more memorable bottled I've opened.

Let us know your thoughts. For me, the 11 was excellent, but following that, they are bending the curve the wrong way.

Well...I just tasted & posted the 12 Caymus. Apparently, had a lot to say about it. Take a look and share your thoughts.

the best wine made in my home valley. It uses the same process as Amarone but it is smoother and fresher without loosing complex structure and strong cherry and caramel — 10 years ago
