For someone who has constantly said ‘I’m not a Zinfandel fan’ I like it. Well balanced in the middle, pleasant finish, not too much acidity. — 7 years ago

Tasting the new 2015 today, while very brooding and quiet at first pour, you can see the huge potential. I am a big fan of Dominus with age and given the makings of this 2015, I can see this joining the ranks of some of the greatest vintages of Dominus...in time, lots and lots of time. — 7 years ago

Black and white pepper, fruit of all ripeness levels, and plenty of oak. Acidity is still there to balance out the wine. Still not a fan of Zinfandel, but this is a well made wine. — 8 years ago

I'm a big fan of Sobon Estate Zinfandels because of their luscious fruit forward character. This is just as good. Main fruit I pick up is cherry. Love it! — 9 years ago

Me,..I'm a fan of the Alexander Valley Silver Oak, over the Napa Silver Oak. Something about what the cooler Alexander Valley climate does to the intensity of the fruit and perhaps a little more earth than Napa. — 10 years ago

Big fan of sav blancs and this one is just tart enough. I dig it. Would drink again. — 10 years ago

Overall very nice wine with a reasonable price tag. Pleasing to any fan of red wine with balanced earthy qualities and medium dryness without being too fruity. — 10 years ago

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

I enjoy this red blend more than most and will continue to have a bottle on hand as it makes me happy. Not good enough? See other, longer, reviews if you want adjectives. Alternatively, buy a bottle and try it for yourself and share with a friend at a party. It’s a fan favorite for-a-reason. And that reason doesn’t have the word “berry” or “legs” or “mocha” — 7 years ago

I've always been a big fan of this vintage for Cos and it continues improve and develop. Some great secondary notes and showed best after 2 hr decant — 8 years ago

I am a fan of Continuum. The 2010 is intense and rich with red fruits, blackcurrent and mocha. There's terrific energy to this wine and although a little tight - still quite young and from magnum - it was a treat to taste. — 8 years ago

Not a huge fan of Zin but if you like Zin Carlisle is amazing. Full bodied, lush, full of blackberries & currants. Very easy to drink and impressive effort from Mike at Carlisle — 9 years ago

Not a rose fan but I like this one. Tart up front but then a smooth finish. Pretty color. Perfect warm weather lunch wine. — 10 years ago

I wasn't a fan of this on night one. It was slightly reduced and had a muddled, confused midpalate, no nose to speak of, and tasted like a paltry poulsard. But, showing again that even entry level Etna rossos need a bit of time, on night two this has blossomed into beautiful typicity. Red fruit warmed in old balsamic vinegar, mountain herbs, and gritty tannins. — 10 years ago

Not a chard fan myself, but when it is crisp like this and not too much citrus like a Sauvignon Blanc, then I like it. — 10 years ago

I'm not a big fan of dessert wines but this one is an exception. Try it with spicy food or mix with vodka and a squeeze if line! — 13 years ago

Beautiful, dark red, perfume fruits. Black currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, boysenberries, lots of blue fruits, expresso, anise, leather, some graphite, sweet dark moist soils, medium intensity volcanic minerals, limestone with blue and dark red floral bouquet.

The body is full. The tannins are round and nicely soften. The structure, length, tension and balance have hit harmony with plenty of life left ahead. Dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, boysenberries, loads of blue fruits, expresso roast, anise, dark chocolate, a little caramel, leather, some graphite, leather, dry tobacco, touch of dry herbs, sweet dark moist soils, medium intensity volcanic minerals, limestone and blue and dark red floral bouquet. The acidity is round and beautiful. The finish is long, very well balanced, elegant, polished and lasts minutes.

I've always been a fan of Léoville-Barton, and this is another reminder why. Densely perfumed aromas of cassis, blackcurrant, and black cherry intertwine with tobacco, fig, vanilla, espresso, and iron giving fair warning for what's about to happen to your palate. And then it does, in spades. — 9 years ago

This was the first Caymus I ever tried, and definitely not the last! Absolutely loved this Napa Cabernet Sauvignon! Lush aromas of dark fruit, flavors of cassis and berry cover the tongue as the silky tannins add to this full-bodied, rich and well balanced wine. The 40th was bursting with layers of flavors ..I'm a fan of this lovely wine. — 10 years ago
