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. The Special Selection is Caymus’s flagship wine, and is only made in years where the vintage conditions are considered good enough. A lower-tier (but still premium) Cabernet Sauvignon is produced every year, and a Zinfandel is also produced in small quantities. Caymus Vineyard wines are unapologetically New World in style, tending toward the big, bold, fruit-driven end of the spectrum. Grapes are given a long hang-time in the vineyard, and crop thinning maximizes the amount of sunlight the grapes see during ripening. The Wagner family is involved in a handful of other brands including Conundrum, Mer Soleil, Belle Glos, Red Schooner and Emmolo. In 2015, the family sold the Meiomi wine brand to Constellation.
