About this item
Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. Since its founding in 1972, Caymus has become renowned as a consistent leader in the production of Napa Valley Cabernet. Grapes for this wine are farmed in a range of Napa’s sub-appellations – from Coombsville to Calistoga – with fruit from the valley floor creating lushness and the hillsides providing backbone. Diversification enables us to make the best possible wine in a given year, featuring layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe berries. Made from grapes farmed in 8 of Napa Valley’s 16 appellations, the wine is then matured in French oak barrels. Caymus Cabernet is approximately 75% valley floor and 25% Hillside. Each bottle has a cork closure type to seal in the wine’s flavor. Peak drinking period is within 10 years of vintage year.

About Caymus
Caymus Vineyards is located in the center of the Napa Valley. Primary production is Cabernet Sauvignon grown on low-fertility soils on both the valley floor and the mountains that surround the valley. Attention to viticulture details, some dry farming, high-density plantings (with some blocks spaced as close as meter x meter), thinning of the yield, along with healthy vines and harvesting at an elevated degree of ripeness – all of these elements produce a unique and singular style of Cabernet.
While the wine has sufficient tannins and structure for long-term bottle aging, Caymus Cabernet is dark and concentrated, with ripe, luxurious, fruit-driven softness that shows from the day of release.
History
The name Caymus comes from the Mexican land grant known as Rancho Caymus, given to George Yount in 1836. This land ultimately became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding area that is used to make the Caymus wine now. Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr., opened Caymus Vineyards in 1972, starting off with 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Today Caymus produces 65,000 cases and farming grapes remains the priority with the family farming about 350 acres of choice Napa Valley land. Caymus is still 100% family-owned and run, as the next generation takes on the responsibility of this farming and winemaking operation.
