Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley (Vintage Varies) - 1 L bottle

This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub region. In some vintages, the decision about when to pick is a tough judgment call as we closely follow the maturation of the grapes' flavors and tannins. In the small vineyard blocks that consistently produce grapes of the level we require for the Special Selection designation, the flavors were lush and substantial, and the tannins had a ripe, melt in the mouth quality. We hand harvested the grapes from September 25 through October 18. In many ways, the vintage wine made itself. Overnight after crushing, we saw intense color and great concentration in the juice, which only deepened during fermentation and the three week maceration period.
