Producer Notes
Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1972 by the Wagner family in Napa Valley's Rutherford district. The Wagners originally immigrated to the San Francisco Bay area from Alsace in the late 1880s. The winery produces both a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and since 1975, a Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, differentiated by superior fruit and additional barrel aging. The name, Caymus, has dual... More »

Full-blown, ripe and rich, with intense and sharply focused dried currant, wild berry and blackberry fruit that's still fairly tannic at this stage. Ends with a long, persistent finish.

We drank three wines at Katie's 40th birthday celebration. All were drinking really well! Good color and body. The Honig Stagecoach 01 is just past its peak, slightly lighter in body then the Caymus 96 and Eponymous 05. The Honig Stagecoach 01 hit its stride after 30 minutes of breathing, it was more silky on the finish with suttle earthy flavors combined with a little oak. The Eponymous is a big wine capable of aging for a wile longer. Bursting with fruit flavors and oak. The Caymus 06 was better on the nose and more complex than the others with vanilla, berries and a finish that lasted for 8 seconds after finishing.

Strong nose. Let set for 20 min. Bursting vanilla, almost to much right now. Leave them in the cellar for another year at a minimum. Supple oak, but think more will come out with age.

This was third in the tasting order, and clearly the WOTN. Outstanding quality, as usual. Beautiful bouquet of crushed, dark berries, oak and hint of white pepper. Full on the midpalate with great viscosity. Cinnamon and that wonderful Rutherford "dust" on the finish. Caymus has turned out another profound and remarkable wine.

Nice big Cali cab. Smooth tannins, wonderful fruit, but maybe just a little flabby. A hit with our dinner crowd.

Strong powerful blackberry and cherry, with hints of vanilla and cocoa. The wine is rich with low acidy with fruit that lingers on the tongue.

Very dark garnet in color, this wine has a nose of tobacco, wet earth, and well oiled leather. In the mouth it is clean and assertive, with beautiful cherry cola flavors and a clean glassy quality to the flavors. This bright quality is complemented by well integrated, soft tannins that caress the palate as the wine heads for a chocolate scented finish. Lovely.

Very tasty. No time to take notes that evening, but I simply know I will revisit.

Similar to Caymus' ultra-rich Special Selection, though somewhat less ripe and extracted, with fleshy black fruit, chocolatey oak and cedar, black olive and liquorice shadings. Well-made for the style. (LM)
