Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon is one of Napa Valley’s most iconic wines, celebrated for its rich and opulent style. Sourced from different sub-appellations across Napa, it brings together the lush fruit of the valley floor with the structure and complexity of hillside vineyards. In the glass, it reveals a deep purple hue and expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and cassis, layered with hints of vanilla, cocoa, and spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-rounded, with velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish. This wine perfectly balances power and softness, offering immediate pleasure in its youth while also holding the potential to age gracefully, unveiling even greater depth and harmony over time.
Producer
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.
