About

Caymus Vineyards is a 100% family-owned winery in Rutherford, Napa Valley, founded in 1972 by Chuck Wagner and his parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr. They specialize in Cabernet Sauvignon grown on low-fertility soils, producing dark, concentrated wines with ripe fruit-driven softness, including Special Selection from the best barrels, Napa Valley Zinfandel, and a new California Cabernet Sauvignon. The next generation, Charlie and Jenny Wagner, continues the multi-generational farming and winemaking traditions.
