Since its founding in 1972, Caymus has become renowned as a consistent leader in the production of Napa Valley Cabernet. The estate is located in the center of the Napa Valley whose primary production is Cabernet Sauvignon grown on low-fertility soils on both the valley floor and the mountains that surround the valley. Attention to viticulture details, some dry farming, high-density plantings, thinning of the yield, along with healthy vines and harvesting at an elevated degree of ripeness produce a unique and singular style of Cabernet. While the wine has sufficient tannins and structure for long-term bottle aging, Caymus Cabernet is dark and concentrated, with ripe, luxurious, fruit-driven softness that shows from the day of release.
