The Tipsy Egret

After the highs of the 1960s, Napa Valley couple Charlie and Lorna Wagner shared their ambitious vision with their 19-year-old son, Chuck, inviting him to join them in tending their 70-acre farm. Their dream wasn’t just to grow grapes, but to launch a commercial wine business.

Caymus Vineyards was born as a true family venture. With only a small number of wineries in operation at the time, Caymus began as a lean operation, reusing Charlie Wagner’s home winemaking barrels to age their wines.

Caymus showcases its signature style with a deep, dark color and bold fruit flavors. Aromas of black cherry and blueberry set the stage for a rich, dense Cabernet. Notes of crushed black fruit preserves, eucalyptus, and sweet spice come together, while the smooth tannins offer the texture wine lovers crave in a Napa Cabernet!
