Caymus Conundrum Selected Grapes Red 2022

Caymus Conundrum Selected Grapes Red 2022 is a bold, richly layered California red from the Wagner family, the same name behind the iconic Caymus Vineyards. Built from a carefully guarded blend of premium grapes sourced from some of the state’s best sites, it delivers the kind of plush, expressive style that has made Caymus wines so sought after.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, saturated purple. The nose is generous and inviting, with dark fruit, figs, warm spice, and a subtle smoky edge. The palate is full-bodied and intensely flavored, opening with blackberry, dark cherry, and plum jam before moving into layers of licorice, bitter chocolate, vanilla, and toasted oak. It finishes long and velvety, with enough richness to make each sip linger. This is a wine that can be enjoyed now for its immediate appeal, though its depth and structure suggest it will continue to hold well over the next few years.

Production
Conundrum Selected Grapes Red is sourced from select California vineyards, with fruit drawn from a range of premium sites that contribute depth, ripeness, and complexity. The exact grape proportions are kept confidential by the Wagner family, but the blend is known to include Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Petite Sirah. The result is a carefully assembled red that emphasizes balance, concentration, and texture.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs well with grilled steak, braised short ribs, barbecue ribs, peppered lamb, or hearty mushroom dishes. Serve slightly cool at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–45 minutes is recommended to help the wine open up and soften its rich tannins.

Producer
Caymus Vineyards, founded by the Wagner family in Napa Valley, is one of California’s most recognized names for ripe, luxurious Cabernet Sauvignon and bold red blends. The family has built a strong reputation for crafting wines with broad appeal and consistent quality, and Conundrum reflects their more playful, exploratory side while still drawing on the same premium sourcing and winemaking expertise.
