Full-bodied, velvety, and bold, with black cherry, cassis, mocha, vanilla, and baking spice. Tannins are soft for Cabernet, making the finish rich and approachable.

Region & Terroir

Napa Valley, California

Caymus draws on Napa Valley's warm days, cool nights, and diverse benchland and valley-floor vineyards. The resulting style is plush, ripe, and immediately recognizable for its dark-fruit intensity.

Grape Varieties

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon delivers black cherry, cassis, and tannic depth, but Caymus presents the variety in a notably soft, generous, fruit-forward register.

Soil & Vinification

Napa's mix of alluvial, volcanic, and loam soils supports concentrated fruit. Modern cellar work and oak aging produce a polished texture, sweet spice, and rounded tannins.

Notable Details

Caymus is one of the most searched Napa Cabernets because its ripe, plush house style is easy to recognize and widely distributed.
