Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1972 by the Wagner family and has since gained a strong reputation for producing rich, bold, and fruit-forward wines. Based in Rutherford, in California`s Napa Valley, it is well-known for its high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon wines, particularly the Caymus Special Selection, which is considered one of the top Cabernets produced in the region. This particular bottle hails from the 1996 vintage, a year when both the Napa and Sonoma appellations yielded commendable Cabernet.
