Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Caymus opens with a black currant and mild herbal tea bouquet with hints of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, smooth, a bit lush and friendly. The flavor profile is concentrated black currant and chocolate blend with notes of black pepper and smoky oak. I also detected hints of black cherry and spice. Its flavors and moderate stick tannins linger and last for quite a while after the wine is gone. I would pair this Cab with a grilled hanger steak. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Background: Introduced with the 2021 vintage, this wine stems from excitement over California’s diverse vineyard land, often in lesser-known areas, that can produce exceptional Cabernet.< br> Sourcing: From Paso Robles to lesser-known areas in Lake, San Benito, and Monterey Counties.
Style: With ripe fruit and luxurious tannins, this wine reveals the Caymus character and is drinkable upon release or with age.
