Caymus Vineyards, Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, 2023

The 2023 vintage benefited from a cool spring, plentiful rainfall, and a warm but not excessive summer—ideal conditions for the long, slow ripening that builds complexity in Cabernet. Caymus sourced from Coombsville, Calistoga, and the valley floor, using fruit from cooler pockets to add structure and freshness while valley-floor fruit delivers the lush texture Caymus is renowned for. The cool 2023 season allowed extended hang time, resulting in refined tannin structure and layered flavor development. This is opulent Cabernet made with the discipline of a cool vintage.
