2021 Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1000 ml

Caymus is the definitive Cab-lover’s Cab. It’s a must-have steakhouse- and cellar-staple from the Wagner family, whose consistently delicious Cabernets have made many appearances on Wine Spectator’s Top 100!

The incredible 2021 Cabernet comes in a special one-liter bottling—perfect for a wine whose richness and suppleness practically beg you to take another sip, then another, until you’re pouring yourself another glass. 

The Caymus name is so big that it can overshadow one of the most important facts about the winery: After five decades of success, it is STILL family-owned. In Napa Valley, where some of the most famous names have cashed in on their pioneering cachet by selling to much larger enterprises, Caymus is still run by the founding family, the Wagners. That alone makes it something of a rarity. 

Give the inky purple-black wine a swirl then take a sip, and you’ll experience the intense and supple fruit, the notes of graphite and tobacco, and the unabashed richness that made Caymus one of the legends of Napa Valley. This wine is opulent from the outset, beguiling the palate with a pleasure-packed mix of black cherry and mountain blueberry preserves, crème de cassis, and notes of eucalyptus and sweet spice, all delivered with a super-silky texture. This is textbook Caymus, and it shows what’s possible when five decades of family know-how are brought to bear.
