Caymus SS Pinot Noir

By: Wineaux DLynn P

Another great bottle has been pulled from the ole Grailey cellar. A wine probably forgotten about and most never knew existed. The famous and oh so comical John Wall ESQ decided it was time for one last bottle before departing. The 1990 bottling of Caymus Pinot Noir….Special Selection! 15 months barrel aging, fruit from 2 different growers in Yountville(Tarizzo and Barboza) and fruit that is also sourced from Jameison Canyon. With a nose that spoke Vosne Romanee, and a palate that was subtly dried and stewed, calm and musty, and kissed with acidic charm and lingering oak, Chuck reminded us of his uncanny ability to make a wine so well balanced that it stands the test of time.

Until the next time we meet Caymus SS Pinot.

Ciao
