Rich and delicious! This dark and delicious wine is absolutely stellar! Dark plum, fig, stewed berries, dark chocolate, baked goodies, an absolutely gorgeous wine! Enjoy now or cellar for 20+ years. Tasted November 2016. 96 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Incredible, inky purple-red gorgeous black fruit! I am loving the spice (cinnamon and cardamom), the juicy concentrated black fruit (cassis and black plum), the rich full-bodied texture, and high but well-developed and integrated tannins. Remarkable! Tasted Nov 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Caymus Special Selection (2013) is sweet dark chocolate on the nose from generous oak aging. Fleshy sweet black plums and blackberries. Full-bodied and supple. Who has a trust fund? This round's on you. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
