Lot #299. Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection 2003

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 96 RP.
"Current vintages of the luxury cuvee, the Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection, are bottled much earlier than in the past and they remain one of Napa’s most classic Cabernets. The 2003’s opaque purple color suggests a wine much younger than ten years of age. Copious amounts of creme de cassis, graphite, spice box and a whiff of new saddle leather result in a classic, authoritative, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with no hard edges. This big, mouthfilling, textured, multidimensional Cabernet still tastes like an adolescent, and is capable of lasting another 15-20 years. Some tannins are present, but their sweetness along with the wine’s voluptuous character are irresistible." Wine Advocate #207, Jun 2013
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $850
