Caymus Vineyards has been owned and operated by the Wagner Family since 1972. Using meticulous farming practices, such as leaving the fruit to “hang” on the vine unusually long and crop thinning to control sun exposure, the Caymus wines have abundant, velvety tannins and suppleness that will stun you. Their flagship wine, the Special Selection, is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage and is not produced in difficult years. The Napa Valley cabernet is a bit less precocious, but still big and age worthy. Caymus has been featured by many prominent reviewers, receiving the very highest accolades possible from each agency. This wine will truly impress you.

96 pts - Wine Advocate

["The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection has a dense blackish/purple color and creamy, sweet crème de cassis fruit, blackberries, a touch of graphite and vanilla, This exuberant, boisterous, in-your-face style of Cabernet Sauvignon is clearly a fruit bomb, so be warned. Full-bodied and opulent with stunning concentration and richness, the wine has no hard edges and is much in the Caymus style of terrific fruit intensity (most of it black and blue), voluptuous texture, and a stunning finish with plenty of glycerin, wood and spice. The alcohol on the label is listed at 14.8%, which seems about accurate. I have Caymus Special Selection in my cellar back to some of the historic wines made by Chuck Wagner’s father in the early 1970s, and while the style’s gotten more precocious and consumer-friendly, these wines, even the more latter-day styles, have a tendency to age beautifully. This can be drunk now, or cellared for 20+ years.- Robert M. Parker, Jr. (12/2015)"]
