Cain Merlot special bottling for the 1996 Napa Valley Auction. Not labeled Cain, but Cain cork and Cain Five capsule. Dark fruit, earthy. Balance leans toward acid, but this really grew on me and drank well over two nights. — 8 years ago

Weighty, meaty, smoky, mineral nose with underripe pineapple skin and green mango, burnt golden syrup, grilled pineapple & plantain or sugar cain.
Palate has a real bottom heavy weight, this is wine with a lot of mineral intensity and stoney depth along aniseed infused Asian pear, stony mineral finish, long with great depth — 10 years ago

Brilliant Red Burgundy, with soft finish but powerful taste, at odds with a gentle nose. We drank with appetizers, before a steak dinner with a Cain Five. — 10 years ago

New release by Cain. Bordeaux blend with fruit from different vintages (majority is 2012). Great effort. Blackberry, leather, with some herbs and spices. Combo a fruit from Spring Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, Yountville, and Carneros — 9 years ago

Not too many Napa Syrah's out there, and this one was an absolute gem. Wish it wasn't a club member only offering. — 10 years ago

The 2004 Avize - Champ Cain. Haunting and astoundingly good. Racy, elegant. Great mineral notes supported by ample fruit. — 11 years ago

Real young with so much promise. Delicious already--not as mineral as the Champ Cain, but so good for opening so early. — 12 years ago

Not as good as the Cain cuvée but definitely worth having again and $10 cheaper — 12 years ago
