CAYMUS CAB SAUV SPEC SELECTION 18

Details

Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1972 by Charles F. (Charlie) Wagner, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner and their son Charles J. (Chuck) Wagner on the family’s Rutherford property. The Wagner’s produced their first Cabernet Sauvignon from the 1972 vintage. Caymus has made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon every year since its founding, and now focuses entirely on this variety. The Wagner’s took the name Caymus from the Mexican land grant known as Rancho Caymus, given to George Young in 1836, which included what became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding area.

Tasting Notes:
A blackberry hue, with scents of rich leather, cooked caramel, berries and forest Floor. Youthfully forward on the palate, supple and appealing with rich concentration. Tannins are abundant, yet fine, and persist throughout a layering of textural sensation. The richness of this wine correlates with the fine dust of the Napa Valley soils. Finish express oak (French barrel) and Caymus fruit-forward impressions. This wine is tannic, rich and squared off by our signature suppleness.
