Caymus has a signature style that is deeply dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe, velvety tannins that remain approachable whether enjoyed in youth or aged through maturity. We farm Cabernet grapes across eight of Napa’s 16 sub-appellations, a strategic approach that provides the diversity and balance needed to craft the best possible wine in any given vintage. Each sub-appellation contributes distinct character—some fields lend structure and mineral brightness, others add plush fruit and lush, integrated tannins—yet all converge into Caymus’s recognizable style of depth, density, and instinctive elegance. Our winemaking philosophy centers on patient, attentive farming, meticulous fruit selection, and restrained extraction to preserve balance and longevity. The result is a Cabernet that speaks to the land while inviting steady exploration with every glass.
Caymus Cabernet offers layered, lush aromas and flavors that unfold with complexity: hints of cocoa and dark chocolate, ripe cassis, and a chorus of dark berries that deepen as the wine opens. The palate presents a generous, fruit-forward profile backed by seamless tannin and a long, precise finish, signaling both immediate gratification and aging potential. This is Cabernet designed for capable cellaring and confident sharing, a wine that pairs gracefully with hearty dishes or stands tall on its own as a testament to Napa Valley craftsmanship and Caymus’s enduring commitment to quality.
