Finally a 100 point wine!

I have been searching for ever on my first 100 point wine I finally found it. Here is a note about six months ago but man has this evolved.

  • 2022 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 50th Anniversary – USA, California, Napa Valley (8/24/2024)
    Caymus Napa vs. Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells (Tom & Bruna’s Edina): Oak chip overload along with ripe, dark fruits almost port like here. Sugar along with an artificial smoke element piped into this wine. If you just swallow this wine like water it is pleasant which is what the chemists have designed here but if you hit all those taste buds there is just an awful experience in my mouth. Hard to believe people like this and drink this but I am doing a blind tasting tonight with this vs. Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Cab which is 1/6 the price. The aftertaste on this lingers for quite a while and really two glasses of this and I am going to have heartburn and/ or a screaming headache.
    Day 2: Even Caymus can improve on day 2. Less of that sugar overload and more smoke and oak chips. Shorter finish than day 1 and still get that chemical, lingering after tasting but a bit more drinkable. Got a little left for day 3. 68 points
    Day 3: For a super young wine this really shows how poorly made this wine is on day 3. Burnt toast, muted fruit and smoke. Super short finish and where is the acidity on this wine? Maybe the worst 3-day transformation of all time. 50 points
    Recommendation: Please apply the tasting process and learn how bad this wine actually is. (68 points)
  • 2022 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 50th Anniversary- USA, California, Napa Valley Ok this is cooking with extra Mega Purple, super ripe fruits, smoke and some heat. This is a wonderful expression of Napa Valley and maybe the finest wine from the region. 100 POINTS
  • IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!!!
