Caymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons – a “Napa Valley” and the venerable “Special Variety”. Both Cabernet bottlings have aromas and flavors which will most effective be achieved through “hang time” – a method which chances the lack of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to “hang” at the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins of the grapes
