Established in 1972 by Charles and Lorna Wagner, Caymus Vineyards is located in Rutherford in the heart of the Napa Valley. The Wagner family has farmed Napa Valley vineyards for three generations, with 75% of vines on valley floors and 25% on hillsides — a combination that balances power and finesse. Grapes for the Napa Valley Cabernet are sourced from a range of sub-appellations spanning Coombsville to Calistoga, with fruit from the valley floor creating lushness and hillside fruit providing backbone. After early morning harvesting, grapes are gently destemmed and cold-soaked for up to three days, then given pump-overs three times daily with 15–20 days of extended maceration, before being transferred to French oak for aging.

Laden with warmed cassis and plum compote notes seamlessly woven with roasted vanilla, tobacco and black licorice. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, with dark fruit intensity and Caymus’ signature lush, velvety texture carrying through a long, smooth finish.
