09’ Caymus Special Selection. Can’t believe I’m about to say this… Well balanced.

Really amazing. Big and peppery. Paired with a wagu steak and was killer.

Loving this wine and having it on a Tuesday thanks to Coravin! Smooth, soft tannins, plum, ripe blackberry pie (says the husband), good oak. Very smooth drinking.

Lots of blue fruit and anise on the nose. Beautiful tastes of plums, dew berries, mocha and a little licorice on the palate. A complex and elegant wine with very sleek tannins and lots of balance.

Dark, brooding, syrupy vanilla, chocolate, and dark berries on the nose. Deeply extracted with noticeable acidity, grippy tannins and long finish.

Truly love this wine. Though at this price point, I could have 2 incredibly good bottles of other wines and likely be happier. This for me would only be for special occasions.
