Caymus has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as in maturity. Since its founding in 1972, Caymus has become renowned as a consistent leader in the production of Napa Valley Cabernet. Grapes for this wine are farmed in a range of Napa's sub-appellations – from Coombsville to Calistoga – with fruit from the valley floor creating lushness and the hillsides providing backbone. Diversification enables us to make the best possible wine in a given year, featuring layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis and ripe berries.

This is now the 50th anniversary for Caymus Vineyards which first began back in 1972. This edition is concentrated with its core of kirsch cordial and loganberry fruit flavors with chocolate and suggestions of fresh sage. Delicious now in its full-throttle youth, so no reason to cellar this heady and well-structured w Cabernet Sauvignon.
