2008. Fabulous! A bit of spice to go with the deep fruit hints. Buy this if you find it. — 6 years ago

Aroma of raspberry. Dark fruit and very oaky mellows to a fruit finish. Very nice. — 7 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

Huge. Phelps Insignia doesn't hit the ethereal heights of the best '70s Eisele's for me, but I find it more consistent. This '77 is a monster but still classic. — 10 years ago

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

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

Dark fruit aroma. Easy smooth upfront with a dry middle and a long dry finish. A hint of the peppery sin and a hint of the cab boldness. — 7 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
