This 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Caymus represents the assured craftsmanship Rutherford terroir offers, a wine of considerable structure and depth, built on ripe black currant and plum with discreet oak integration and a mineral undercurrent characteristic of the region's benchland sites. The 15% alcohol sits comfortably within the wine's substantial frame, supporting rather than dominating. Expect a wine of substance and aging potential, best approached alongside a prime cut of beef or a richly sauced game dish, where its tannin architecture will find ideal expression over the coming decade.
