2005 Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Caymus hits the mark for rich, lavishly oaked Cabernet Sauvignon with bold cassis, black cherry, loam and spice flavors that often verge on sweet. These wines offer lush texture along with considerable early appeal. The expensive Special Selection is made from the best lots of Cabernet and is aged in a somewhat higher percentage of new French oak than the Napa bottling. At a separate facility in Monterey County, Jon Bolta oversees the wildly popular Conundrum, a secret blend generally consisting of varying amounts of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat, Sémillon and Viognier.
