Caymus Tasting Aftermath

We had a great response to our last-minute tasting notice. I guess the name Caymus still carries some weight! The wines were classic Caymus: Super polished and plenty of plush fruit… with the possible exception of the 2007 Special Selection, which was just way too young to be appreciated. There’s a lot going on there, but tasting such a wine at such an early stage of development is a bit like eating a decadent French pastry before it’s fully cooked. You really have to know what you’re looking for to get anything out of it.

If there was any clear favorite, it would probably be the Belle Glos line of Pinot Noirs; especially the Clark and Telephone. For anyone who enjoys a voluptuous Pinot, this is your ticket. It was showing nicely (and the sales of the item that night certainly reflected it!) Plus, at just a bit over $30 a bottle, it’s certainly in the realm of the purchasable for many people, even if only for a special occasion.
