Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley, USA

America's most famous luxury Cabernet Sauvignon — made only in exceptional Napa Valley vintages from the Wagner family's Rutherford estate. Aged 22 months in American oak. Blackberry jam, cassis, dark chocolate, vanilla, and mocha with the plush Rutherford texture that defines the Caymus style. The only wine in history to be named Wine Spectator Wine of the Year twice (1984, 1990). Immediately approachable but rewards 5-10 years of cellaring.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Generous Cabernet fruit lifts spiced lamb; structured tannins balance fat
• main: Dense Wagyu fat coats the palate; big Cab fruit and oak structure cut through
• main: Jammy Napa fruit echoes bourbon glaze; generous tannins integrate with collagen
• main: Caymus Special Selection's plush Rutherford richness and lush blackberry fruit is made for prime rib — the most classic American Cabernet-to-beef pairing. The au jus provides the savory depth that integrates with the wine's concentration while horseradish cuts through both beef fat and Cabernet richness.
• main: Full-bodied fruit and vanilla oak harmonise with smoky pork and sweet sauce
• casual: Bold Napa tannins cut through cheese and fat; dark fruit lifts caramelised onion
• dessert: Fruit-forward Cab contrasts bittersweet chocolate; sea salt bridges the two
