What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Powerful aromas of ripe blackberry and dark cherry, with notes of vanilla, cocoa and rose petal. In the mouth, the wine exudes richness and a finely-grained cocoa texture, with low acidity expressing breadth and richness on the palate. Flavors of chocolate, dark berry fruits and the classic cabernet cassis are supported by the texture of fine-grained tannins. Our 2006 bottling of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, opulent and supple, and clearly expresses the Caymus style. Full-blown, ripe and rich, with intense and sharply focused dried currant, wild berry and blackberry fruit that's read more...

A fantastic Napa Valley Cabernet. Silky smooth and easy to enjoy, with big ripe fruit on the nose and just a hint of vanilla.

Full-blown, ripe and rich, with intense and sharply focused dried currant, wild berry and blackberry fruit that�s still fairly tannic at this stage. Ends with a long, persistent finish.

Not quite Silver Oak, but equally enjoyed.

The most outstanding features are it's "chalky" dryness, it's berry flavors, and it's wonderfully lingering aftertaste.
