Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 'Special Selection' 2020 originates from the United States, specifically from the Napa Valley region and the Rutherford subregion in California. Founded in 1972 by Chuck Wagner and his parents, the winery remains a 100% family owned operation that has achieved legendary status for its 'Special Selection' label. The winemaking philosophy focuses on 'hang time,' allowing grapes to remain on the vine longer to develop the highly concentrated fruit and supple tannins characteristic of the estate's signature style.

Wine Description

This wine presents a deep midnight purple colour and a full body with an opulent, velvety texture. The sensory profile features a complex aroma of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark cherry, accented by notes of espresso, saddle leather, and tobacco leaf. On the palate, it delivers layers of plum compote, chocolate covered espresso beans, and dark cocoa, supported by refined, powdery tannins and a sweet smoky oak character. The finish is remarkably long and luxurious, showing lingering notes of mocha and cedar.
