Lot #341. Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection 2012

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 RP.
"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection has a dense blackish/purple color and creamy, sweet crème de cassis fruit, blackberries, a touch of graphite and vanilla . . . . Full-bodied and opulent with stunning concentration and richness, the wine has no hard edges and is much in the Caymus style of terrific fruit intensity (most of it black and blue), voluptuous texture, and a stunning finish with plenty of glycerin, wood and spice . . . . I have Caymus Special Selection in my cellar back to some of the historic wines made by Chuck Wagner’s father in the early 1970s . . . these wines, even the more latter-day styles, have a tendency to age beautifully. This can be drunk now, or cellared . . ." Wine Advocate #222, Dec 2015
Provenance: The Clover Collection
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $375
