Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is the flagship "prestige" bottling from the Wagner family, crafted only in years where the fruit meets their highest standards for concentration and depth. This wine is unique for being a "Selection of Selections," where the best barrels from the Napa Valley estate are chosen for extended aging and refinement. The 2020 vintage is characterized by a dark, opaque purple hue and an explosive aromatic profile of crème de cassis, huckleberry, and ripe figs, underpinned by savory notes of espresso, toasted oak, and vanilla bean. On the palate, it is exceptionally lush and full-bodied, offering a "creamy" mouthfeel with dense, supple tannins and a remarkably long, fruit-forward finish that masks its structural power.

94 Points- Wine Spectator

Lush and polished, with waves of cassis and blackberry compote pouring through, underscored by chocolate, espresso crema and roasted vanilla bean. Maintains a lush, velvety feel through the lengthy finish, where flashes of sweet tobacco and warm earth peek through. For the power Cabernet crowd. Best from 2024 through 2038.
