Lot 45 Details
CAYMUS CABERNET SAUVIGNON SPECIAL SELECTION 2008 (OWC)

Napa Valley.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is the first example of this cuvee to include Merlot (about 14%) in the blend. The Merlot component has given the wine a cocoa/chocolate nuance to its black currant, licorice-infused fruit. The tannins are velvety soft and the wine is beautifully textured and full-bodied. It is ideal for drinking now and over the next 15 years. WS 94 WA 94

6 bts.    per lot $1,100 - $1,300

Realised: $1,848
