Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley, United States), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 29-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, venison, cheese board.

In 1972, Caymus Vineyards was founded by Chuck Wagner, along with his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr. They began their journey with a modest production of 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fast forward to the present day, Caymus Vineyards continues to be a fully family-owned and operated venture, with the next generation now leading the charge in managing and crafting exceptional wines. The 1997 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon delivers aromas of black cherries, cassis, and hints of eucalyptus, creating an earthy bouquet. On the palate, it maintains its equilibrium and structural integrity, while the black raspberry notes offer depth and complexity. The finish is both long and spiced.
