Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 'Napa Valley' 2012 40th Anniversary
Introduction
This red wine originates from the United States, specifically the Napa Valley region in California. Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1972 by Chuck Wagner and his parents, Charlie and Lorna, and remains a family owned operation to this day. The 2012 vintage is particularly significant as it marks the 40th anniversary of the winery, a milestone celebrated with a special commemorative label and a wine that epitomizes their signature style of rich, ripe, and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon.
Wine Description
The Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary 2012 possesses a dense, opaque purple-black colour. The nose is lush and aromatic, offering copious quantities of blackberry jam, crème de cassis, and black licorice, layered with sweet notes of mocha, vanilla, and toasty oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and voluptuous, featuring a velvety texture with ripe, silky tannins and a touch of fruit sweetness. Flavours of dark berries, chocolate, and espresso lead into a long, persistent finish. This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 14.6%. While Caymus utilizes sustainable and integrated pest management practices, this wine is not certified organic.
Accolades
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 96 points.
Food Pairing
The opulent fruit and rich structure of this Cabernet Sauvignon make it an ideal partner for bold, savoury dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with pepper-crusted steak, grilled New York strip loin, or barbecued back ribs. For a cheese course, consider serving it with hard, aged cheeses such as Gouda or a sharp clothbound Cheddar.
Vintage Quality
The 2012 vintage in Napa Valley is widely regarded as 'classic' and 'perfect', characterized by steady, even ripening and near-ideal weather conditions throughout the season. A long, warm summer with cool nights allowed for excellent flavour development and a plentiful harvest, resulting in wines with a smooth balance of acids and sugars and deep colour concentration.
