Do we really need to say more than “today we have Caymus?” What if we add “at a discount?” The label is so synonymous with quality, sought-after, iconic, dare we say “cult” Napa Cab that for many, not much else is needed. But, we’ll do our job and tell you more about the wine we know will sell out in the blink of an eye.
The 2020 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is everything Caymus is known for. It has the label’s signature style—deep color, rich fruits, and ripe tannins. The grapes for this wine are farmed in eight Napa sub-appellations from Coombsville to Calistoga. The fruit from the valley floor adds lushness. The fruit from the hillsides adds backbone. Caymus chooses to source from various trusted vineyards to produce the best possible wine from a vintage.
For over 5 decades, Caymus has created magic with one blockbuster Cab after another. The 2020 vintage continues that magical tradition. This quintessential Napa Cab is deep mulberry in color with aromas of blackberry jam, cassis, currant, and cocoa. Straight out of the gates it delivers a hefty punch of fruit to the palate followed by tantalizing notes of anise, cocoa, cherry vanilla, tobacco, and a hint of pepper. While abundant in tannins it retains a softness that guarantees a silky mouthfeel and sultry finish.
Earlier this year, San Francisco Chronicle wine columnist Esther Mobley honored Napa’s class of 1972, and Caymus was among the celebrated wineries that helped to shape Napa into being all it could be. Although the Wagner family founded Caymus in 1971, they didn’t release their first vintage until 1972, so they’re considered part of this historical class that “changed wine forever.” At the time Caymus produced just 240 cases of wine. Now, Caymus produces about 65,000 cases annually. And, every single bottle in every single case is desirable to wine lovers, wine collectors, and those with a particular affinity for the very best Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.
Year after year, the wine world’s top critics applaud this wine with comments like “it’s velvety-textured, full-bodied, concentrated, and flawlessly balanced” (Jeb Dunnuck) and it’s a wine for “hedonists seeking immediate gratification" (Wine Advocate).
You don’t have to be a hedonist to want to experience all that Caymus has to offer: layered, lush aromas and flavors, including cocoa, cassis, and ripe berries. You also don’t have extraordinarily deep pockets to experience the wine either. We are offering it at an astonishing almost 25% off! We meant what we said up top. We will sell out of this iconic wine in the blink of an eye.
