The Secrets Behind Caymus: Napa Valley’s Most Iconic Cabernet
A Legacy of Excellence
Caymus Vineyards, a family-owned winery nestled in Napa Valley, has redefined the art of winemaking with its iconic Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded in 1972 by the Wagner family, Caymus stands as a symbol of bold, approachable wines celebrated for their quality and consistency.
The Signature Style
Caymus wines are renowned for their bold fruit flavors, silky tannins, and velvety textures. The Caymus Special Selection, in particular, has achieved legendary status as the only wine twice named "Wine of the Year" by Wine Spectator. Its notes of blackberry, plum, cocoa, and subtle oak create a luxurious and approachable wine that appeals to both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts.
50 Years of Caymus
The 2022 vintage marks the 50th anniversary of Caymus Vineyards, a monumental milestone for the winery. The 2022 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon reflects decades of dedication to quality, featuring tasting notes of lush dark berries, vanilla, and a long, smooth finish. This commemorative vintage honors both tradition and innovation, making it a must-have for wine lovers.
Perfect Pairings
Caymus wines, including their celebrated 1-liter Cabernet Sauvignon, are versatile and complement a wide range of dishes. From hearty steaks and lamb to creamy pastas and charcuterie boards, their bold flavors and balanced acidity make them an ideal choice for pairing.
Why Caymus Stands Out
Caymus doesn’t just produce wine—it tells a story of passion, heritage, and mastery. Every bottle, whether a standard or the generously sized 1-liter Cabernet, offers a taste of Napa Valley’s finest craftsmanship.
