Caymus Napa Valley Cab 2022: What's New After 30 Years? Wine Tasting by Todd Alexander 🍷
Wine expert, Todd Alexander, tastes and reviews the Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022. This happens to be Caymus' 50th anniversary bottling of this iconic Napa cabernet and this video explains the differences between the wine now and what it was 30 years ago. If you are a fan of big focused Napa cabs, this is not the wine for you. Clearly, Caymus has gone in a much more user-friendly direction, offering up a "smooth" wine that is observably sweet.

Trader Joe's Reserve Sonoma Cabernet 2020
Просмотров 1012 месяца назад
If you can still get this lot of TJ's Private Reserve Sonoma cabernet, buy every bottle you can get your hands on. It's $10 and an absolute steal. Drinks like a big-boy cabernet at a fraction of the price.

Trader Joe's Reserve Petite Sirah: The Bomb
Просмотров 3233 месяца назад
I love Petite Sirah. When done right it creates one of the most complete drinking experiences you can find. When done wrong, it's a hot mess. Most of the beauties out there are fairly expensive but Trader Joe's has managed to find a real humdinger for under $10. I'm grateful!

$10 Paso Cabernet Sauvignon: Paso Dragon 2022

Kirkland Versus Trader Joe's: Pinot Grigio
Просмотров 2523 месяца назад
Trader Joe's and Costco duke it out for the top spot in the $5 Italian pinot grigio sweepstakes. There is a clear winner here; one being an outstanding value and the other not being suitable for sangria. Pinot Grigio was a wonderfully popular wine in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s but has fallen by the wayside mainly due to most of it being unexciting at best.

    I just opened this up with some sockeye salmon with my recipe of Garlic and cinnamon. Just rode 20 miles in my bike and on my deck and a beautiful Minnesota afternoon. This is full bodied and tasty , fruity. I was surprised . This is a 10 to 20 buck chuck. I’ve had crap for 100 a bottle. Definitely worth 10 bucks.

    Just buy a bottle of Bonanza, the poor man's Caymus. Which is made by the Wagner family. It's about $20 and basically tastes the same in my opinion.

    Caymus was my introduction to the wine world as I’m sure many others also . My first bottle (2009)I enjoyed it but found it cloyingly sweet as I started to consume more. As my palate improved I was able to Segway into Bordeaux.

      WVV wines in general are qualitatively excellent. That said, you have to search for values as they tend to all be on the spendy side. I’ll be reviewing some big names soon.

  • @MrBryGuy69

    I do have to agree, Bogle does make some great, cheap wine. We don't know where in California they source their grapes from, but they sure aren't picking the rotten ones that fell off the vine onto the ground. (I've had wines that taste like this.) They are VERY consistent in their quality of wine they put out, and I would recommend them to anyone. Keep up the suggestions on wines! I tried "The Tenebras" you suggested a while back and it did NOT disappoint! Thanks!

    Great comments on the video. Loved it. Subscribed! Caymus is more like a sweet wine cocktail. The appeal? the marketing I think. Which people pay for. It should be about 20 bucks for sure. My tasting notes have "Cherry NyQuil" and "Hersheys Chocolate Syrup" in the descriptors. That says it all for me. And this is the 2016! the new ones, 2020, 2021, are even more extreme on the sugar and artificial flavoring (vanilla, sugar from something like mega purple, which is likely affecting the color also, etc). Won´t be buying this again at this price level.

    I just finished watching your review. Wish I would have seen this earlier, I got a Caymus Napa Cab 2021 for a Birthday present and I was hoping for a wine that was extra special. Since I am not at the level of other wine drinkers, I hope that it will still be an enjoyable glass of wine. This will be the first bottle of Caymus that I have ever tried. It was purchased for $80 at Total Wine & More and was their last bottle, so they didn't seem to have a problem moving the product. I am hoping for the best. Moving forward, I plan to watch your reviews again very often for your advise. Thanks again for being so honest. Many others have given it a good review because the name is Caymus. Thanks again!

    • @UpYourWineGame
      @UpYourWineGame 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching. Caymus is arguably the most important brand in Napa Valley. That said, they make wines that appeal to a GLOBAL market, and this is not by accident. They pivoted early and the Wagner family is a master marketing machine. The recent years of Caymus are clearly not my style but this 2021 is just awful, especially given the price tag associated.
