Doesn’t get much better! Beautiful dark purple color. Dark cherry and floral hints in the nose. Wonderfully balanced on the palate with a nice finish. This one was a gift, where do I find more???? — 8 years ago

Show me what not to like about this overall product. Let's talk about the variables. In my owns company I may be able to find fault. In the company of others I'm always happy with this. Bcart does what they do. And they do what they do well!! — 8 years ago

Great example of a Gran Reserva with dark fruit and leathery age notes to balance it. Amazing value if you can find it at Tesco. — 9 years ago

Biased because I adore Sonoma wines. Decanted for one hour+.This one seems to be in the French style. Dark cherries on the nose. Restrained dark fruits with very complex undertones. Each taster will find their own nuances. One drinker tasted licorice! I just tasted a smooth, dry finish. — 10 years ago

This was Decanter's 2013 Wine of the Year. Came across it fairly hidden at a local wine shop in town and got it for $40. Figured why not!

At 16yrs old, the color is still extremely ruby shaded. Don't really see any bricking around the edges. Floral nose of cherries, and a dirty/dusty element to it. Fairly thin at the front of the palate, but it has a nice weight in the middle and the finish is holding strong. Black peppercorn, faint leather taste and a rush of tart cherries. Reminds me of a 5-7yr old Sonoma Pinot. This is still "juicy", which to me is less in your face than "jammy". Fruit is giving way to secondary notes. Not WOTY for me, but for $40, a nice find.

Update: Much better after 45mins as well as at cellar temp. — 8 years ago

An intriguing wine. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes this wine amazing but it has a freshness to it hard to find in many wines. An amazing wine, that comes costly, but will leave lasting memories. — 9 years ago

From magnum, and still a bit beefy around the middle, reflecting the vintage. Plush but with character, the perfect choice for those who generally find Beaujolais too thin. — 9 years ago

Couldn't find any ratings on the 2013, so rolled the dice here. Everything we wanted from a Pinot. Wonderful. — 10 years ago

Immediately in my top 5 beers. Concentration without weight or offensive intensity. So many tropical fruits, cannabis, and sage aromas bursting out of the glass! In the mouth it reminds me of all the great aspects of a Sierra Nevada pale ale turnt up. A new benchmark in balanced beer. Such a casual hurried situation to be drinking this, but nonetheless an encouragement to find more of this stuff. — 10 years ago

40th harvest. Bravo! This is a new find for me from my most favorite appellation in Central Italy. The 2012 packs everything I like about Brunello. Medium garnet color with fresh, vibrant hue of young Sangiovese. Relatively classic. Juicy with red cherry, wild strawberry, a bit of wild raspberry. It's seen quite a fair bit of new oak showing both scent and taste of baking spices, new leather, vanilla bean. Silky tannin backed up by med-plus acidity. You surely don't drink a Brunello young but this is tempting. Best around 2022-2035. 90+ — 8 years ago

First drink of the 2014. Find it a little of disappointment. Little flat and dare I say, very sweet. I love Caymus so I will give it another chance and let you know — 9 years ago

One of the best wines under $45 you can find. Incredible fruit and complexity. Rivals its flagship Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red at nearly 1/3 the price. Amazing wine. Cheers!! — 10 years ago

9.4

Dominated by a dark "inkiness" that seems like one flavor made up of many--blackberry, raspberry, scorched tar, soy sauce--and still plenty of tannins for texture. Looking for the classic "Pauillac-ian" graphite helps me find it--it's not nearly as present as I'd think--but this probably speaks more to how integrated this wine is because it still quite fresh and bright. — 10 years ago
