1990 Caymus Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley


Medium dark, brick colored. Cherry and chassis on the nose. Red and black cheery fruit with dusty, earthy overtones, moderate acid, soft tannins, and a long, fruity finish. This is an elegant, mature Cabernet. This bottle showed a little more complexity than the previous bottle in January. My rating 87.

Hi, Mike,

We have 2 bottles of this 1990 Cabernet and wondered if it would still be good.

Thanks,

Scott

With older wines it all depends on storage. If it has been stored reasonably, it should be good. I would try one of the bottles soon.
