From the moment you pour a glass, you'll be captivated by its deep ruby hue, promising richness and intensity. As you bring the glass to your nose, a symphony of aromas unfolds: ripe blackcurrants and dark cherries dance with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of mocha, all stemming from the wine's careful aging in French oak barrels. The palate is full-bodied and velvety smooth. Its tannins are integrated and polished. It is very fruity and complex with an extended, velvety finish that lingers on your tongue, leaving you yearning for more.
The 2019 vintage of the Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon pairs magnificently with grilled steaks, roast lamb, and hearty stews. Its robust structure also complements aged cheeses. The perfect serving temperature is around 18 degrees Celsius to make sure you can embrace all its flavors. To fully appreciate its potential, decanting it for 30 minutes before serving will soften its tannins. This will create a harmony of aromas and flavors. This wine is made for a celebration! It is best consumed with people who are just as special as this wine!
Given Caymus' reputation and the quality of the vintage, the 2019 Special Selection is an investment worth making. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your wine journey, this bottle will make a lasting impression.
