Tasting note

Caymus Vineyards' 2015 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should offer ripe plum, cassis and dark cherry, with cedar and herbs. Expect a generous, smooth palate shaped by rounded tannins and enough acidity to balance the fruit. The peak years run from 2020 to 2032; the full drinking range lasts through 2038. Dark berry and spice should linger into a long, savory finish with a gentle earthy edge.
