Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its rich, dark color and intense aromatic profile. It offers notes of red berries, cassis, blackberry, and hints of spice and coffee. The palate is full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated, with ripe, firm tannins and a long, elegant finish featuring black cherry and blueberry. This vintage, celebrating Caymus' 50th anniversary, is crafted to be approachable in youth while still having the potential for aging.
About Winery
In 1972, Chuck Wagner started Caymus Vineyards with his parents, Charlie and Lorna, with a humble plan and an uncharted future. The Wagner family were farmers with deep roots in the Napa Valley – in 1857, Chuck Wagner’s great-great grandfather captained a wagon train to California from Bible Grove, Missouri. Working together for decades, Chuck Wagner and his parents established the family’s work ethic, appetite for innovation, down-to-earth sensibility, and deep appreciation of the pleasures of good food and wine enjoyed with family and friends.
