Caymus Napa Valley 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, $67.99-$79.99, 94 points, poured core black grading to a deep purple/red similar to a rich Shiraz, and a bleeding meniscus with dense copious legs.
A bouquet of black fruit, coffee, chocolate, and subtle cedar notes were typical, for Caymus, complex and a bit overwhelming.
A Big, unctuous, dry Cabernet Sauvignon, almost like drinking a vanilla pudding covered in a chocolate sauce smothered in over ripe blackberries and a dash of thyme.
This Caymus showed fair acidity, was rather soft and round, and was supported by a rather gentle underlayment of tannin; just maybe a Merlot-lovers Cab.
Finished long on the fading palate with a hint of iron and a very well-balanced 14.6% alcohol.
Not typically my style of Cabernet Sauvignon but was better than I remembered.
Paired perfectly with my Texas burger.
