Tasting notes
A beautiful ripe, plump, fat and opulent style of Cabernet Sauvignon that Caymus has pioneered, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple color, loads of juicy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, low acidity and no real evidence of oak, but a nice, plush, full-bodied opulence. This is irresistible, especially for a Cabernet Sauvignon coming in at 14.9% natural alcohol. Drink it over the next decade or more.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and unctuous, with notable inner sweetness and texture that coats the palate. Blueberry syrup, brandy, prunes, cloves, mint and cola are some of the signatures. This is one of the more opulent, ripe 2013 Cabernets readers will come across. This thick, unnaturally unctuous Cabernet tastes heavily processed.
