What could be better than to taste a great California Cabernet for Father's Day. I happened to drink this wine for Father's Day with my husband and brother-inlaw. The wine by the way was courtesy of my brother-in law, so I want to thank him for the delightful surprise tasting! I decanted the wine in my Spigleau Crystal Decanter and proceeded to taste with all the right accessories: Reidel Glassware, crackers, some cheese..you know, all the right stuff and of course the music,cigars and light Jazz. Sight, Sniff, Swirl,Sip..Easy, right? Hmmmm, the bouquet is nice,cherry. I like that. Hmmmm, what don't I taste? Where's the finish?Let's have a cracker, some cheese and try again. No finish! Where's the wine? Needless to say we were dissapointed or at least I was dissapointed. Having read on-line about Caymus-a great California Cabernet, and doing my research about the winery and the vintage I was psyched. I anticipated big and juicy but got a mediocre wine for the price. The wine was pricey and I guess I expected more. Nothing exceptional, no big fininsh. Maybe the wine just got old and this may just be a case of holding on to a bottle too long.

I did thank my brother-in law for the experience again and we of course proceeded to finish the bottle.+
