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

WA 96 (12/2006): The brilliant, super-rich 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection (this cuvee is now aged only 15-16 months in barrels compared to older vintages that spent almost twice as long in wood) boasts an inky/purple hue, and sweet notes of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, licorice, and charcoal. This dense, full-bodied, opulent, seamless, heady Cabernet is ideal for drinking over the next 15+ years.

94 pts - Wine Spectator

WS 94 (3/2007): A superb Cabernet that's ripe, plush and deeply concentrated, offering tiers of currant, plum, blackberry and spicy, cedary oak. Finrly tannic, lively and deep, revealing extra flavor nuances on the long, engaging finish. Best from 2008 through 2013.

93 pts - Vinous

IWC 93 (6/2007): Good deep ruby-red. Musky black fruits and earth on the nose, with oak notes that seem far more harmonious and subtle than some of the vintages of the '90s. Suave, moderately sweet and silky, with ripe acidity framing the dark berry flavors. This builds nicely toward the back, finishing with tooth-dusting tannins and lingering notes of redder fruits, gravel and loam. A superb showing.
