Region and Vineyards

Situated in the prestigious Napa Valley, Caymus Vineyards benefits from varied terroirs, with 75% of vines in valley floors and 25% on hillsides. This combination allows the wine to balance power and finesse, with fruit from well-drained soils enhancing concentration and depth. Napa Valley’s warm days and cooler nights provide ideal conditions for developing ripe flavors while maintaining acidity, essential for a robust Cabernet Sauvignon. The family cultivates approximately 350 acres of vineyard land, managing each parcel to optimize grape quality.

The vineyards are cultivated without irrigation, resulting in smaller, highly concentrated grapes. This dry farming approach forces the roots to delve deeply into the soil, contributing to the wine's structure, minerality, and unique Napa expression.

Winemaking

The Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked at peak ripeness during the warm September and October months to ensure rich fruit character. After harvest, the wine undergoes 12 months of aging in French oak barrels, which imparts complex notes of vanilla and spice while softening the wine’s tannins. The grapes are vinified to create a plush, full-bodied style, with each step carefully tailored to produce a wine that embodies Caymus’ signature approach.

With 14.6% alcohol, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases Napa Valley’s warmth, leading to a rich, supple palate that is approachable yet age-worthy.

Tasting Notes

  • Color: Deep garnet with a slight red-fawn edge.
  • Aroma: Expressive nose of French oak, cassis, saddle leather, and espresso.
  • Palate: Full-bodied and layered, featuring abundant tannins and notes of ripe dark fruit, hints of rustic oatmeal, and a long, satisfying finish.

Did You Know?

Caymus Vineyards is family-owned and has been run by the Wagner family for over 30 years. Today, Chuck Wagner works alongside his son, Charlie, and daughter, Jenny, ensuring that Caymus’ legacy of quality continues with each generation.

Wine Pairing Ideas

  • Braised Short Ribs with Root Vegetables: The rich, savory meat complements the wine’s dark fruit and supple tannins, while root vegetables enhance its earthy undertones.
  • Duck Confit with Black Cherry Reduction: The wine’s bold structure and subtle notes of cassis pair beautifully with the duck’s richness and the cherry sauce’s sweetness.
  • Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Thyme: The earthy flavors and herbaceous notes harmonize with the wine’s oaky, complex finish.
  • Aged Gouda or Parmigiano-Reggiano: The nutty, intense flavors of aged cheese balance the wine’s tannins, accentuating its depth and complexity.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2022)
A creamy, forward style, with a core of warmed raspberry and boysenberry preserves infused liberally with mocha and melted licorice. Shows a late flicker of chaparral. This is meant for near-term hedonism. Drink now through 2034.
