Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

I’ve been saying that the Wagner’s could use a killer California Cabernet that’s more attractively priced than its Napa counterpart and here it is. Now in its second year, it’s safe to say this is a bonafide success.

Year in, year out the Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is lights out. But lately, the prices have steadily increased while the costs have continued to soar. That has led the Wagners to look outside just their Napa holdings, leaning on their immense resources and secondary vineyards to create something new, exciting and more affordable.

This one is very similar in profile to their Napa Cabernet, it’s supple, dark and rich with a full-bodied feel. That Wagners feel this gives them a chance to celebrate California’s diverse vineyard land, often in lesser-known areas, with the potential to produce exceptional Cabernet and to still blow you away in the process. The beauty in this is that they can do it for a lot less a bottle than they can with the Napa.
