Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Chuck Wagner’s 2003 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon comes from such appellations as Rutherford, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Mt. Veeder and Napa Valley. It is blended after 16 months of aging rather than before, which is an unusual practice. A dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by attractive, sexy aromas of jammy cassis, plums and spice. The wine offers plenty of richness and power as well as supple, silky tannins and an opulent personality.

• James Suckling: Smooth, rich and seductive, with impeccable balance, great depth and lots of finesse and flavor. The layers of plum, black cherry, mocha, spice and wild berry flavors unfold gracefully, keeping a tight focus and fanning out, giving it a long, supple aftertaste.

Producer Information

Caymus Vineyards is a well-regared and relatively historic wine producer based in Rutherford, in California’s Napa Valley. Like most of the valley’s famous producers, it specializes in top-end wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon. Its top wine, the Caymus Vineyard Special Selection, is notable for having been the only wine to have twice topped Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list. This was achieved with its 1984 and 1990 vintages. The first vintage of Caymus was in 1972, although the Rutherford property, owned by the Wagner family, has been planted to grapes since the 1940s. These were sold to other producers in Napa until the 19-year-old Chuck Wagner agreed to help his parents establish a winery on their ranch. Today, Caymus Vineyards is still family owned and operated, with various wines made by Chuck’s sons Joe and Charlie, and his daughter, Jenny.
