Wine Tasting Notes
Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe, velvety tannins - as approachable in youth as in maturity. We farm Cabernet grapes in eight of Napa's 16 sub-appellations, with diversification enabling us to make the best possible wine in a given year. Our Cabernet offers layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe dark berries.

About Caymus Vineyards
Over the decades, the Napa landscape has changed as much as the essence of our wines. Napa has become a most beautiful agricultural valley, a manicured garden 30 miles in length, and its Cabernet is one of the world’s most revered wines.

Even at Caymus, our approach to producing our top wine has evolved considerably. From the days of me by my Father’s side punching down fermenters with the simple goal of making a good wine that would sell, to today using some of those same techniques with the goal to make a top wine of our Valley. By luck I grew up in the Rutherford farmland with grapes and prunes surrounding our farmhouse - Chuck Wagner

    Caymus missed the mark on their 2018 Cab

    Posted by Jimi on Jul 26th 2021

    Caymus has always been a great cellar addition for us. However, we purchased a bottle of the 2018 to taste before buying a few cases for our cellar, as we have done for the last 8 years, and it was a disappointment.

    It is my opinion that Caymus released this wine too early, or their winemaker and/or production team made an error in processing. The 2018 Caymus Cabernet lacks depth and it lacks the bold, jammy flavor that we have come to enjoy from this winery's cabs. The 2018 is too sweet; it could pass for a "Port Blend". Now I understand why the price of the 2018 Caymus Cab is trending down and not up. Perhaps the 2018 Caymus Cab will correct itself over time, but we are not taking the chance.
