Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 pours an opaque, deep purple-ruby color with brilliant violet edges in the glass. Sourced from a diverse palette of eight premium Napa Valley sub-appellations, this expressive Cabernet Sauvignon represents the Wagner family's iconic signature style of opulent fruit density and supple tannic structural power. The highly fragrant bouquet opens with lush aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis paste, and black cherry compote, intricately layered with secondary notes of cocoa powder, espresso bean, warm baking spices, and fine toasted cedarwood. On the palate, the wine delivers a full-bodied, texturally luxurious mouthfeel framed by incredibly soft, fine-grained tannins that eliminate any youthfully bitter edges. A dense mid-palate of concentrated dark orchard fruits and mocha flows seamlessly alongside well-balanced acidity, carrying outstanding weight into a long, satisfyingly plush finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with prime grilled ribeye steak with rosemary butter, slow-braised beef short ribs, or an artisanal board of aged sharp cheddar cheeses.
