Beautiful nose. Surprisingly fresh with good tannins. Eucalyptus on the nose gave it a summer feel. Lovely. Dark fruit. Want more earth but a lovely wine

An excellent Caymus SS, though not the best, as persistent bitter tannins take a small toll. Espresso roast and dark red fruit, miles and miles to go.

On its last legs. Drink up. Got better with airtime but still not nearly the wine it once was.

Old school Napa Cabernet showing place and wine maker. Delicious fruit with integrated tannins. Quintessential Rutherford dust, eucalyptus with the wind and floral characters under a calm hand. Big, bold, fruit characteristics, yet a refined finish from a steady hand. Shows the trademark of Chuck all the way through.
