Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

The wine's intensity is overwhelming, and its sweetness is excessive for a $100 offering. The nose is marked by by a deep, voluptuous ruby color and a well-rounded nose of jammy, cooked prunes, and cherries, with a touch of vanilla, sweet chocolate, and a delicate minerality. The tasting is shaped by a full-bodied texture and a pronounced flavor profile that includes cooked fruit, plums, and sweet beef jerky. The conclusion is long and satisfying, but the wine's high alcohol content and tannins make it a challenging drink to finish. Overall, the wine's intensity and sweetness make it a challenging wine to drink, but it may be worth the effort for those who enjoy robust, full-bodied wines.

Rich, full-bodied wine with a well-rounded finish, featuring a heavenly experience.

Rich, full-bodied wine with bold, oak-filled nuances that are unmistakably California in origin. A consistently excellent option for any year, this selection is a top notch in the region.
