The Wagners have farmed in Rutherford since 1906, when Carl Wagner bought land there. In the 1960s Charlie and Lorna Wagner pulled out their prune and walnut orchards for vines, and in 1972 they founded Caymus Vineyards with their son Chuck, starting with 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. The name comes from Rancho Caymus, a 19th-century Mexican land grant. Chuck is still the winemaker, and the style he built is ripe, generous and supple, the kind of Cabernet that is plush and approachable young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the house benchmark and a natural starting point if you are exploring \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/napa-valley\"\u003eNapa Valley wine\u003c\/a\u003e. For the 2022 50th Anniversary bottling, fruit came from across the valley, from cool Coombsville in the south to warm Calistoga in the north, with Rutherford and Oakville in the mix. That blend of districts is what gives the wine its depth without any hard edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaymus Special Selection and the 50th Anniversary Cabernet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Selection arrived in 1975 and is the family's top \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cabernet-sauvignon\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/a\u003e, a darker, more concentrated wine with real ageing potential.

Chuck's daughter Jenny makes Emmolo, named after her mother's side of the family, who came to Napa Valley from Sicily in 1923.

This wide geographic spread brings together warm, sun-soaked vineyards that deliver dense, ripe fruit with cooler-influenced sites that retain freshness and aromatic lift. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, often picked block by block to capture the ideal balance of sugar and acidity. In the cellar, Caymus employs a combination of temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve vibrant aromatics and extended maceration for color and flavor extraction. The wine is then aged in a selection of oak barrels, allowing the dark fruit, spice and mocha notes to knit together into the plush, signature Caymus style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis generous Zinfandel is a natural partner for rich, flavor-packed dishes.

Decanting for 30–45 minutes before serving will help the wine open up, smoothing the tannins and allowing the layered dark fruit, spice and mocha notes to fully express themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaymus Vineyards, founded in 1972 by the Wagner family in Napa Valley, has become one of California’s most recognizable names, particularly for its powerful yet polished Cabernet Sauvignon.

The nose is intense and layered, overflowing with crème de cassis, ripe blackberry and dark cherry, wrapped in notes of violet, dark chocolate, milk caramel and subtle anise. Underneath, hints of baking spices and vanilla from carefully judged oak add further complexity without overwhelming the fruit.\n\nOn the palate, this is classic Caymus: full-bodied, plush and velvety, with a rich, almost hedonistic sense of volume. Layers of dark chocolate, mocha, sweet pipe tobacco, black licorice and warm spice unfold over a core of concentrated black fruit. The tannins are ripe and polished, offering structure without harshness, while the oak – predominantly French – is seamlessly integrated, framing rather than masking the fruit. The finish is long, glowing and luxuriously smooth. While irresistibly enjoyable now for its generous, fruit-driven style, this vintage has the concentration and balance to develop gracefully for 20–25 years in the cellar, evolving more savoury, tertiary nuances over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from carefully selected parcels across Napa Valley, many planted with older, low-yielding vines that naturally produce smaller, intensely flavoured berries. Minimal irrigation encourages the vines to dig deep into the valley’s varied soils, promoting both concentration and a clear sense of place. The 2023 growing season was marked by a long, steady ripening period, allowing Caymus to do what they are renowned for: letting the grapes hang to an unusually high level of ripeness, a cornerstone of their signature style. Harvesting is carried out with precision to capture optimal maturity, after which the fruit is gently handled in the cellar. Fermentation and maceration are managed to extract deep colour, plush tannins and saturated flavour, followed by aging in primarily French oak barrels, where the wine gains further texture and aromatic complexity while keeping the spotlight firmly on the rich Napa fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis opulent Napa Cabernet shines alongside richly flavoured dishes: think grilled ribeye or tomahawk steak, slow-braised short ribs, lamb shanks, ossobuco or a truffle-laced mushroom ragù.

Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight both freshness and depth. Younger bottles will benefit from 1–2 hours in a decanter to allow the aromatics to open and the texture to fully soften; mature bottles from the cellar may need a gentler, shorter decant primarily to separate any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaymus Vineyards, founded in 1972 by the Wagner family in Napa Valley, has become one of California’s most influential names in Cabernet Sauvignon.
