★Robert Parker給出的極高評價：「卡本內的王者－Caymus」
★美國超級名廠Caymus的知名度之高，可說是：「沒喝過Caymus，也看過Caymus。」美國Wine&Spirits雜誌調查全美最高端餐廳中最暢銷的的酒No.1就是Caymus Vineyards
★奠定Caymus不敗地位的是它從1975年推出的旗艦款紅酒Special Selection，兩次拿下Wine Spectator百大年度第一(1984&1990年分)。Caymus SS是Napa Valley的代表頂級佳釀之一，價格卻比其他膜拜酒來得平易近人。僅在條件被認為足夠好的年份釀製。
《神之雫》第22集中是這麼形容Caymus SS的風采：「美味！華麗得來又柔和豐滿，完全沒有年輕法國酒的Cabernet Sauvignon那種裝模作樣、難以親近的感覺。」如果要比喻，就像是珍藏在阿姆斯特丹國家博物館的荷蘭畫家揚·弗美爾(Jan Vermeer)名作《倒牛奶的女僕》：「雖然莊嚴，卻兼備日常生活的親近感。柔和而芳醇的第一印象裡，很難想像到裡面包含著深奧的內涵。」
WA: 89 Drink: 1993-2003
The Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, which spends significant time in oak, can be one of California's most riveting wines. First made in 1975, there have been some exceptionally concentrated, powerful wines that are still young and evolving (i.e, the 1978, 1976, and 1975). The decade of the eighties produced less profound Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignons, with the exception of the 1984 and 1985. Since then, the wine has moved to less of a blockbuster style, with the emphasis on more elegance, without sacrificing the wine's richness and intensity. I have not tasted the 1989 Special Selection, but both the 1988 and 1987 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignons are noticeably lighter and less intense than previous vintages. Nevertheless, the 1987 is still an excellent wine with its rich, oaky, cassis and spicy nose, creamy-textured, medium to full-bodied flavors, and moderately long finish. I would drink the 1987 over the next 7-10 years.
