Caymus Vineyards, Special Selection, Cabernet Sauvignon 1990 Caymus Vineyards, Special Selection, Cabernet Sauvignon 1990 Napa Grapey/Californian style. Lovely berryish fruit. So glossy. SS. Lot 5245 1 d.mag - 3 liter (cn) per lot: HKD 3000-5000 per lot: USD 400-600 I think I first realized that Caymus Special Selection was not only one of the greatest wines made in California, but a very great wine in the context of world wine-making when I attended one of Bipin Desai's vertiginous vertical tastings. The tasting was held in L.A. and we drank the Special Selections from 1975-1990 over some spectacular food at Valentino. I was deeply impressed by the complexity of the wines which, for me, is the real criterion of quality and I was also struck by Chuck Wagner's direct approach, professionalism and zest for life. SS. Quantity: 1
