Caymus Vineyards - Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 1985 (750ml) Washington Merlot and Malbec aged 17

Merlot and Malbec aged 17 months in French oak is a strong effort offering creme de cassis

"- Robert Parker

contemporary shiraz from Yalumba

and subtle oak aromas comprise the nose on this bold Rioja from a cold vintage

Caymus Vineyards - Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 1985 (750ml) Washington Merlot and Malbec aged 17Critical Acclaim 91 points Wine Advocate It reveals a lavishly oaked, smoky, jammy, blackcurrant scented nose, sweet, round, glycerin imbued, full bodied flavors, and excellent purity, ripeness, and length. (RP, 04 2005) 90 points Wine Spectator Mature red garnet in color. Aromas of sour black cherry, anise and blackberry carry over to the palate, where it's silky smooth, with fine grained, integrated tannins. Finishes with a pretty sour cherry candy
