Napa Valley.

CAYMUS CABERNET SAUVIGNON SPECIAL SELECTION 2012 (2)

Napa Valley.

Full-bodied and opulent with stunning concentration and richness, the wine has no hard edges and is much in the Caymus style of terrific fruit intensity (most of it black and blue), voluptuous texture, and a stunning finish with plenty of glycerin, wood and spice. I have Caymus Special Selection in my cellar back to some of the historic wines made by Chuck Wagner’s father in the early 1970s, and while the style’s gotten more precocious and consumer-friendly, these wines, even the more latter-day styles, have a tendency to age beautifully. This can be drunk now, or cellared for 20+ years. December 2015 WA 96

2 bts. & 1 mag.    per lot $800 - $1,000

Realised: $1,440
