Red Wine: 1983 | Caymus Vineyards | Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Double Magnum)

A mouthful of rich, concentrated, textured Cabernet that’s loaded with ripe cherry, cassis, chocolate and toasty oak and cedary flavors that unfold on the palate. It’s lean and tannic like most ’83s, but it’s balanced and the elements are in perfect order.

Producer Information

Caymus Vineyards is a well-regared and relatively historic wine producer based in Rutherford, in California’s Napa Valley. Like most of the valley’s famous producers, it specializes in top-end wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon. Its top wine, the Caymus Vineyard Special Selection, is notable for having been the only wine to have twice topped Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list. This was achieved with its 1984 and 1990 vintages. The first vintage of Caymus was in 1972, although the Rutherford property, owned by the Wagner family, has been planted to grapes since the 1940s. These were sold to other producers in Napa until the 19-year-old Chuck Wagner agreed to help his parents establish a winery on their ranch. Today, Caymus Vineyards is still family owned and operated, with various wines made by Chuck’s sons Joe and Charlie, and his daughter, Jenny.
