Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1972 in Rutherford, the heart of Napa Valley, by Chuck Wagner and his parents, Charlie and Lorna. Named after the historic Rancho Caymus, the winery carries forward the Wagner family’s long tradition of grape growing and deep connection to the land. From the very beginning, Caymus became renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, with the celebrated “Special Selection” cuvée becoming its hallmark.
The combination of Napa’s rich terroir, careful vineyard practices, and unwavering dedication to quality has made Caymus a symbol of powerful yet elegant wines. Today, the next generation of the Wagner family continues to guide the winery, preserving its heritage while embracing innovation. Every bottle of Caymus reflects the family’s passion, tradition, and commitment to creating wines that embody the essence of Napa Valley.
