The 2023 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in Napa Valley opulence. It pours a deep, saturated purple, offering an intense bouquet of crème de cassis, Madagascar vanilla, and cocoa. The palate is characteristically lush and full-bodied, defined by velvety tannins and seamless acidity. Ripe blackberry and espresso notes lead to a long, polished finish with hints of sweet tobacco. It is a decadent, hedonistic wine that remains the gold standard for contemporary Californian luxury.
