Cabernet is king at Caymus. During the decade of the nineties, there has been a succession of sumptuous, rich, concentrated, lavishly-wooded, cassis-flavored Caymus Cabernet Sauvignons. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon has closed down since bottling, but it is still a deep, dark ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of blackcurrants and sweet vanillin, toasty oak. This backward wine is full-bodied, dense, powerful, as well as tannic.
Wonderful coffee bean and vanilla aromas add to the currant, plum and spice nuances. Supple, well-balanced and very nicely proportioned. No Special Selection was produced this year. Best soon.--1993 California Cabernet retrospective.
