Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

• Light & Fruity: Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
• Smooth & Supple: Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
• Earthy & Spicy: Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
• Big & Bold: Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

The aromas are layered with pipe tobacco, fermentation pumice, log cabin fire, moist steel, dried Poblano peppers and fine quality oak. Sweet, toasty fresh brown spice leads to the impression of richness and complexity.

We created this wine to be low in tartness yet abundant in tannins, providing impressions of friendly chock richness. The palate enters rich with sweet, ripe tannins, expanding to a greater breadth of refined textures. These harmonious qualities are so well integrated that not one takes the dominant role.

This wine has a flavor profile of dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, mocha, leather, brown spice, cedar, vanilla and sweet licorice.

The primary goodness of this wine is the presence of balance, with a supply texture, approachable grip and a fruit of the earth essence.
