Present were Uncles Jimmy, E, P and Winepath. Uncle N was away on vacation. The session was very lively and the cheeses included an aged cheddar and Manchego. We tasted 4 wines, three of them blindly. The first wine was not covered: Caymus 2006, Special Selection. High alcohol content; A chewy, oakey yet not fruitty wine. Excellent long finish. This wine has a lot of body. A 3+ or 4. superb.
Tasting notes:
"Deep garnet color. Beautifully concentrated dark berry and cassis aromas lead to flavors of black cherry, blueberry, ripe currant and cocoa, nicely balanced with toasty oak. The wine has a lush, expansive mouthfeel with soft tannins and firm texture. The long, velvety finish carries powerful impressions of fruit to the end"
