Tasting Notes

This wine opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate, accented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is lush and layered, offering ripe blackberry fruit and cocoa powder wrapped in velvety tannins. A long, smooth finish delivers warmth and richness, emblematic of Caymus’s signature style.

Investment & Collectibility

Celebrated for its accessibility upon release yet capable of aging gracefully, the 2012 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon remains one of the most collectible vintages in recent memory.

They appear to be immune to some of winedom’s less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. It is so good now, why wait? However, I’m sure that like most vintages of Caymus, it will last for 20-25 years. Amazing! Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: October 2014. Drinking window: 2014 - 2039.

Vinous

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary from Caymus hits the palate with a rush of dark cherry, plum, Coke, chocolate, brandy, spices and sweet new oak. There is good texture, viscosity and immediacy to the fruit at first, but the sickly sweet new oak and vanillin become overpowering soon after, totally covering the fruit and attenuating the mid-palate and finish. Thankfully, the finish is short. Even by today's standards in Napa Valley, this is a decidedly sweet style of Cabernet Sauvignon quite unlike pretty much anything else I tasted this year.
