1995 Caymus, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker NR

Cabernet is king at Caymus. During the decade of the nineties, there has been a succession of sumptuous, rich, concentrated, lavishly-wooded, cassis-flavored Caymus Cabernet Sauvignons. I tasted a number of different component parts of the 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which – at least from an aromatic, flavor, and textural perspective – resembled the 1994 Napa. Interestingly, when I saw Chuck Wagner in late October, he was not yet sure whether there would be a Special Selection in 1995, which is surprising in view of the vintage’s high quality. Tel.
