Caymus has been producing Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon since 1972. In the decades since, we have learned a great deal about the conditions that enable the production of this varietal. These conditions can be found in other parts of California. Places from Paso Robles to the lesser-known areas in Lake Monterey and San Benito Counties can produce great Cab. We search for special pockets of land with warm days and cool nights, whose rocky soils mean that vines struggle, thus producing rich, concentrated wine.
Since the early days of Caymus, we have worked to create a signature style of Cabernet - dark and lush, with ripe fruit and luxurious tannins, drinkable upon release or with age. This wine displays that Caymus character. Just as Napa came from obscurity to demand attention, so may other partys of the state, This wine reflects optimism about how much remains to be explored and cultivated in the world of fine winemaking.
