Each year, they set aside the best barrels of their Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley to produce Special Selection. Distinguished by extremely fine, velvety tannins and enjoyable upon release or with aging. A wine of structure with intense concentration of supple flavors and dark fruits.-Winemaker Notes

In 1972, Chuck Wagner started Caymus Vineyards with his parents, Charlie and Lorna, with a humble plan and an uncharted future. The Wagner family were farmers with deep roots in the Napa Valley in 1857, Chuck Wagners great-great grandfather captained a wagon train to California from Bible Grove, Missouri. Working together for decades, Chuck Wagner and his parents established the familys work ethic, appetite for innovation, down-to-earth sensibility, and deep appreciation of the pleasures of good food and wine enjoyed with family and friends.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
Today, Caymus Cabernet is one of Napa Valleys most celebrated wines. Made from grapes farmed in 8 of Napa Valleys 16 appellations, the wine has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins as approachable in youth as it is in maturity. Chuck Wagner continues to make two world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignons Caymus Napa Valley and Caymus Special Selection. Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is the only wine in the world to be honored twice as Wine Spectator magazines Wine of the Year for the 1984 and 1990 vintages.-Winery Notes
