What is all this talk about bad years? Shone like a star, outplacing four other late-60s first growth Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

2011, not bad. Nice oaky notes — 10 years ago
The color is very opaque a deep dark purple almost black.
The boquet is so amazing I was sipping it before I realized what I was doing. It has absolutely no tanic smell. It smells like blackberries fresh on the vine. The initial palate taste is dry and not very rich. It has a light feel to it. It has a smooth light beginning and a dry almost tongue tantilizing finish. The flavor is of black currant, blackberry, and chocolate with a slight himt of acidity, but in a good way. It tingles the sides of my anteroir tongue. It has a very dry finish with no aftertaste. This is an amazing wine. This is Alexander Valley at its best. In a nut shell, its a big bold smooth and yet light wine. Almost like a Pinot in heaviness but big bad and bold like a Pure Cab

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 10 years ago
