2020 Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

“It is a testament to your discerning taste and appreciation for the finest wines that California has to offer; a badge of honor that represents the pinnacle of winemaking excellence.”

The Caymus story is one of two families with extraordinarily long histories of winemaking in Napa Valley being joined by marriage. Its founders, Charlie and Lorna Wagner can trace their ancestors’ Napa viticulture legacy back a collective 400 years.

In 1972, after decades of making wine under the Wagner Family Winery label, Charlie, Lorna, and their son Chuck launched Caymus Vineyards. It was only one vintage later when their 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon struck gold. Wine critics raved over the rich complexity, and the praise they received has not been quieted since.

As one of the most celebrated wineries in the region, their continued excellence, innovation, and dedication to the region are captured in each vintage. To this day, they remain a 100% family-owned company, even as they have branched out, now producing more than a half-dozen labels, most of which are also already household names.

Every bottle of Caymus in your cellar is a piece of Napa Valley’s great history. It is a testament to your discerning taste and appreciation for the finest wines that California has to offer; a badge of honor that represents the pinnacle of winemaking excellence.

TASTING NOTES

Boasting their signature style with an impressively deep and dark red color. Complex aromas intermingle to create an enticing fragrance: black fruit preserves, dried vine fruit, and decadent chocolate. An impressive palate follows with earthy and spicy accents adding intrigue to its rich, fruit-forward attack. Despite its bold tannins, there is a softness that ensures a silky-smooth mouthfeel and a lingering, sultry finish.

ESTATE NOTES

Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. 

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.
