A Legacy of Caymus Excellence
Founded in 1972 by Charlie and Lorna Wagner, Caymus Vineyards has remained proudly family-owned and family-run for more than five decades, growing from a small release of Cabernet Sauvignon into one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated wine portfolios rooted in farming, tradition, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Centered in Napa Valley, Caymus is renowned for crafting Cabernet Sauvignon in a distinctive style that is rich, dark, and expressive, yet polished and approachable from release, achieved through careful vineyard practices, thoughtful harvest timing, and meticulous cellar selection—qualities reflected across its flagship wines, Special Selection, and California expressions, all created to elevate the simple pleasure of sharing great wine at the table.

Since 1972, it has remained a leader in Napa Valley Cabernet, drawing fruit from diverse sub-appellations across the region to create wines with layered aromas and flavors of cocoa, cassis, and ripe berries, balancing lushness with structure year after year.
