Description
Napa Valley’s Most Iconic Cabernet
Since its founding in 1972, Caymus Vineyards has become one of Napa Valley’s most recognized and consistently celebrated estates. The Wagner family’s signature style — dark, rich, and opulent, with ripe tannins that make the wine as approachable in youth as in maturity — has earned Caymus a devoted following among Cabernet lovers worldwide.
The 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon draws fruit from across Napa’s diverse sub-appellations, from Coombsville in the south to Calistoga in the north. Valley floor fruit contributes lushness and generosity; hillside fruit provides structure and backbone. The result is a wine of layered complexity and seamless balance.
