"With the newly released 2017 Caymus Cabernet SauvignonâI have now tasted 46 of most of the wines' vintages since its first release with the 1972 bottling .... The new vintage is as stellar as any of the winery's efforts to date. Tasting notes: This wine is smooth, polished, and well-appointed. Its bold and deep aromas and flavors of cassis and oak stay tenderly on the palate. Pair it with a thick, well-marbled grilled ribeye."
