Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection (Napa Valley)
With a nose packed full of oak chocolate, boysenberries and licorice, the wine is full bodied, lush, forward and hard not to like. I'm sure this will age well, but if you them young and you're in the mood, you can pull a cork for pleasure now. 6,907 Views Tasted Apr 20, 2015 |
