Caymus Special Selection Cabernet 2001

Like many wines of the vintage, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection has closed down, but it reveals impressive potential. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a veneer of sweet, creamy, toasty oak intermixed with creme de cassis, earth, and spice box characteristics. The wine is structured, full-bodied, pure, and in need of another 1-3 years of bottle age. It should age well for 10-15 years.
