Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The wine that made Caymus famous — and keeps them there.

For over 50 years, Caymus has been the benchmark for generous, approachable California Cabernet. Chuck Wagner's instinct has always been the same: find the finest fruit across the state, blend with conviction, and never compromise on ripeness or texture. The California Cabernet draws from premium vineyards statewide, unified by the unmistakable Caymus house style — warm, plush, and deeply satisfying from the first pour.

Tasting Notes
Ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and a whisper of mocha open the nose with characteristic Caymus generosity. On the palate, lush fruit is framed by velvety tannins and a warmth that speaks to the quality of the fruit selection — never heavy, always inviting. A touch of vanilla and toasted oak adds just enough complexity to reward attention.

The Finish
Full and expressive, with a warm, fruit-driven close that lingers with the kind of satisfaction that keeps glasses being refilled. Drinkable upon release, equally rewarding with a few years of cellaring.
