Caymus Special Selection - 2014 (750ml) Gohyakumangoku Rice Now that the wines areCaymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons a Napa Valley and the venerable Special Selection. Both Cabernet bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through hang time a technique which chances the loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to hang on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins of the grapes. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet.
