    Wow! It’s amazing to hear all the negativity around the highly successful and delicious Caymus Cab. I agree it’s not the best wine in Napa, but it offers something unique all the while being very enjoyable.

    I love Cab.. last year I purchased a 2018 Caymus.
    It was so disappointing, I wrote a letter to my wine store.
    I agree. It was not up to anyone’s standard.

    100% agree on this take with Caymus. I live next to their Fairfield winery and their Pinot is also over-manipulated and overpriced.

      I've only gotten seriously in to wine the past 2 years, and most of the experts ive watched or met personally have said something similar. That Caymus tastes manipulated like sugar was added, and this is especially the case in the past 4-5 years BUT they all said that the special selection Caymus was VERY well made. Got lucky enough to try some free samples, and i definetly wouldn't pay $80 ,90$+ for that standard bottle, better off going with some Groth or whatever $50-$70 Napa cab you prefer

    Within a minute of this video I knew this guy was selling wolf tickets when he said you could buy this at most convenience stores and gas stations and then proceeds to say it goes for $80-100. So gas stations now sell $100 wines? I’ve never seen this wine at a gas station. EVER. It’s not a bad wine. It is just a poor expression of what Napa cabs are.

    How can you objectively evaluate the last 3 wines when you stand to make money selling them? As I commented in one of your other videos, blind tasting would give the appearance of impartiality.

      HI, if you watched the video, I have zero intention of being impartial. Sure, maybe in the future, I'll taste wines blind. People will buy what they want to buy regardless of my opinion. I genuinely don't have a preference what wine you buy.

    2021 is nowhere close to 2018. But our assessment is that you are so surprisingly harsh you sound like you got fired or something. The group of friends I sent this to just said “ excrement of Bovine”

      I have no relationship whatsoever with the winery. It's just my opinion. If you want to spend your money on those wines, enjoy.

    It’s a fruit bomb. It’s for people that haven’t really had more experience trying wines. They think since it’s expensive that it will be great. Most of the wine that they had before were cheap, and then they tried Caymus and it was better. I can write this because that was me. I’m not really putting Caymus down, because if that is what you like, then that’s your opinion. I just now like many Bordeaux wines in the same price range that have a better finish and are more interesting to me.

    Caymus wine are ment to be aged especially there cabs by them.let it sit 5 to 10 year and try again. Like any good product u have to know what to do with it.

    Yup, this is what the wine industry needs to do - trash each others brands. Wonderful. What's the point of dumping on a wine that a lot of people just like? Isn't it good that they're enjoying wine? Wouldn't it be better if you offered yours as an alternative rather than making those that drink Caymus feel bad or stupid? The industry needs to stop denigrating popular wines that vast numbers enjoy. Good marketing is convincing people of the value of your brand and wines, not shaming people into trying yours. Disclaimer: I, too, have NO relation to Caymus whatsoever. I just think we all should try harder to include all wine drinkers into the enjoyment and discovery of wine.

      My channel and my opinion. Make your own. There is wine. There is not wine. We sell real wine, as opposed to grocery store plonk. We make this clear distinction. There are a dozen wine manufacturers producing 80% of the wine sold in the US, two thirds of which is sold in grocery stores. There are six companies that control 80% of the distribution market. This is an existential threat to family wineries. Consumers need to wake up to this reality or suffer the consequences. Take note of the phone, auto, soft drink, processed foods, and many other consolidated industries. Lastly, adults are in charge of their own feelings and they can take ownership of them.

    Totally agree with you that Caymus is a highly manipulated wine but just don’t understand why some many dumb people pay so much for such a wine in United States…….

    I have yet to see a wine critic say anything good about Caymus cabernet. The reviews have been universally bad.

    If you're okay spending that much on Caymus it just shoes you have more money than brains. It should be about $40 per bottle - TOPS
