Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Napa Valley, California, United StatesAnother fine rendition of the iconoclastic Caymus/Wagner cabernet style that is mostly no holds barred. There are eight Napa Valley sub-appellations in the mix and they include both the big, linear mountain fruit and the glossy, rich flavour profile of the valley floor. The '09 were picked at the bitter end of the growing season on November 5 but the wait was obviously worth it. It's not quite in the same league as the 2008 but the big, spicy, vanilla scented fruit is similar on the nose. The attack is rich, the texture supple with fine-grained tannins mixing with dark chocolate and black fruits all over the palate that persist well into the finish. Grilled steak is the pairing here.
