Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon

About This Wine

This small release "California" Caymus Cabernet, not to be confused with the renowned Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, is said to be an expression of California's finest Cabernet producing spots. 

From the winemaker, Chuck Wagner:  

"I feel this wine expresses the greatness of California and its hidden pockets where Cabernet can excel. We search for sites with climatic conditions, soils and topography ideally suited to Cabernet – places from Paso Robles to lesser-known areas in Lake, San Benito and Monterey Counties and features the signature Caymus rich, lush style.  The cold Pacific Ocean running the entire length of the state presents maritime influences – and with each small distance eastward the climate warms. Stony soils, south facing slopes and moderately warm conditions are the keys to producing dark, rich and good tasting Cabernet."
