In 1972, Caymus Vineyards was founded by Chuck Wagner, along with his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr. They began their journey with a modest production of 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fast forward to the present day, Caymus Vineyards continues to be a fully family-owned and operated venture, with the next generation now leading the charge in managing and crafting exceptional wines. The 1997 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon delivers aromas of black cherries, cassis, and hints of eucalyptus, creating an earthy bouquet. On the palate, it maintains its equilibrium and structural integrity, while the black raspberry notes offer depth and complexity. The finish is both long and spiced.

Readers wanting a jolt of blatant toasty oak with straightforward flavors reminiscent of cherry syrup, coffee, and herbs might appreciate this wine more than I. It is medium-bodied, monolithic, and best drunk over the next 8-10 years. Regarding the points/power ratio, I am reminded of an old retailer's sarcastic sales slogan - "Why pay less?"
