Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

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.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1987

More tannic, powerful, youthful, and funky than the '85,
But still great. Probably needs another 5-10.

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. Gorgeous nose of black currant, liquorice, and asphalt. Big and bold in the mouth, but not overripe, with integrated tannins, nice acidity, and a lingering finish of dark fruit and spice. Good now through 2025. — 11 years ago
