Held its own through the back half of a classic nouvelle cuisine menu at maison rostang. Excellent wine with hints of tobacco, spice and mineral despite the protein and fat heavy second half. — 8 years ago
Back upstate and starting with a quick split and caviar to get things back on track. The softest bubbles, brioche, yeasty, toasted almonds. Yum. Great balance to the brine. Christmas Carols have switched to George Michael. Can this year please end already?!?!? — 8 years ago
Very pleasant - slight jamminess on the front berries on the back. Paired nicely with the food — 10 years ago
Opened 1998when power went back on in Sonoma! Wow this was solid. Well kept with mid neck ullage, dark plum no brick colors of oxidation. As you would expect a earthy woody old Bordeaux nose, soft tannins but still strong 19 years on. After an hour open and decanted this was wonderful. — 8 years ago

After 2 hour decant still kind of smelled like a bag of balloons. Put it back in the bottle and on day 2 it's singing. Woodsy black cherry, black tea, baking spices and some of that classic tar thing. — 9 years ago
Loved this Zin. Hubby and I drank the bottle in one sitting. — 9 years ago
I was disappointed with my last Caymus Special Selection vintage, but this beauty brought me back to a bottle that won Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of the Year ... Twice!! Incredible fruit and balance. This can be cellared and enjoyed for years to come. Cheers!! — 10 years ago
First Napa wine to be given a name back in 1974 and the very first Bordeaux blend. — 10 years ago
Very sexy...reminds me of a Washington cab, maybe from DuBrul. Now if only the Easter bunny would bring me a bottle of Le Dome — 11 years ago
