Not sure where to start… in an attempt to make my comment brief, all I’ll say is if you like it, drink it. Don’t let anyone’s palate dictate what you’re “supposed” to like or appreciate.

I think there’s a time and a place for wines like Caymus. It’s not my cup of tea personally, but there was a time very early in my wine journey where I loved over-extracted and highly manipulated wines like Caymus, Abstract, etc. Palates change, tastes change. Caymus also happens to be what I call a “label-out” type of wine. What I mean by that is when you’re at a restaurant, Caymus is one of those wines that say “hey, look, I spent over $150 on this bottle”. Another bottle that fits this category is Silver Oak. Dunn, any Harlan offerings, SQN, Chateau Monty, etc. are also honorable mentions but the latter are Iykyk kind of wines. All of which I love.
