The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is a dense, dark ruby/purple-colored effort offering up classic Caymus aromatics of blackberry jam, cassis, melted chocolate, espresso roast, licorice, vanilla and sweet oak spice. Full-bodied, lush and opulent on the palate, it delivers a velvety, soft texture with ripe, accessible tannins and a sweet, fruit-driven core. This is a forward, hedonistic style of Cabernet that emphasizes richness and immediate appeal over structure or austerity, finishing long with a creamy, oak-tinged impression.
