Caymus Vineyards

Chuck Wagner began making Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon in 1972 from the family's Rutherford ranching property. The Special Selection — made only in exceptional years — has achieved consistent 96-100 ratings and is arguably America's most widely recognised luxury wine. The standard Napa Cabernet delivers the Caymus house style of lush, generous, immediately accessible Rutherford Cabernet.

Caymus Special Selection is America's most widely allocated luxury wine — achieving 100-point scores from Wine Spectator twice (1984 and 1990 — the only wine to win Wine of the Year twice). The consistent house style of plush, generous Rutherford Cabernet has made Caymus the benchmark for accessible Napa luxury.
