Cherries and nice acidity... Served it with Nona's homemade ravioli and was delicious! — 9 years ago
2005 vintage extremely tasty. Tastes great and this wine has another 20 years of life. No doubt a superb effort but I am very worried. Just like Bordeaux is no longer claret, rayas is no longer a delicate wine. Rayas was a delicate, subtle, light colored, feminine wine. It has become high alcohol, big color, masculine wine. Very good but I miss the elegance. Has Emanuelle Reynaud listened too much to RP. We don't need another Pegau. Rayas was just fine as it was. — 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. — 11 years ago

Raikas, hedelmäinen ja sitruksinen. Erittäin mainio viini kanalle ja seurusteluun. — 8 years ago
Pretty serious wine, the prettiness almost overshadowed by a ramrod-straight backbone of acidity. Probably meat-friendly with the right preparation? — 9 years ago
Powerful. Rich. Brilliant acidity. Just the balance you want. Orange peel, honey, rosemary, stone, blood orange. — 9 years ago
Saturated gold with orange notes; ripe pear, papaya, pineapple, cinnamon and cardamom, honey, v trace rubber and slight oxidation; unctuous and perfectly balanced med sweet, tingly acid, integrated alcohol to back it up (11.5%). Perched between young and old, bright and contemplative. — 9 years ago

Too young I know I know but my buddy was paying. Who am I to say no? Very good wine but so tannic with deep fruit and some mineral tones but needs more time. Have to invite my friend out in 8 years and buy another bottle! — 8 years ago
