Caymus Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection 1979 (1.5L) (Bottle #1)
Before the 1980s transformed Napa into the powerhouse it became, Caymus crafted this 1979 Special Selection—among the earliest flagship releases from the young winery. This 1.5L magnum carries the hallmarks that would define the estate's legacy: ripe, generous fruit, refined tannins, and full-bodied structure aged in mostly new French oak. At over four decades old, the wine remains a compelling study of how great Cabernet ages with grace and complexity. A rare document of Caymus's foundational era.
