Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
It has been five decades since the initial production of a Caymus Cabernet by Chuck Wagner's parents, Lorna & Charlie Sr. The family, along with a few other wineries, had a strong belief in the potential success of Napa Cabernet. The Wagner family originally consisted of a trio - Charlie Sr. as the winemaker, Lorna as the strength of the family, and Chuck as the apprentice. Today, Chuck's children have joined in the family business. As a family owned company, they continue to tend to the vineyards, create and taste wines, and share good times with loved ones over a bottle. This 50th vintage evokes the passion and quality of the first Caymus - velvety, rich, well-balanced, and representing the essence of Napa Valley Cabernet.

A creamy, forward style, with a core of warmed raspberry and boysenberry preserves infused liberally with mocha and melted licorice. Shows a late flicker of chaparral. This is meant for near-term hedonism. Drink now through 2034. |
