In 1972, Caymus Vineyards was founded by Chuck Wagner, along with his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr. They began their journey with a modest production of 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fast forward to the present day, Caymus Vineyards continues to be a fully family-owned and operated venture, with the next generation now leading the charge in managing and crafting exceptional wines.

Each year, they set aside the best barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley to produce Special Selection.

Robert Parker on the 2010 – “The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection exhibits an opaque purple color, slightly more toasty oak in the aromatics, and explosive richness on the attack, mid-palate and length. The nose is slightly more restrained than in the regular bottling, but there is no doubting the Special Selection is a cut or two above the Napa bottling when it hits the palate. Extraordinary purity of fruit, creme de cassis, licorice and incense all emerge from this full-bodied, iconic classic. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 25+ years.

Though the Wagner family is not quite the pioneer that Louis Martini, Charles Krug, Beaulieu Private Reserve, Ridge Vineyards and a few others are, they have long farmed and made the wines at Caymus Vineyards.” 98 points.

93 Vinous
- The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection is, big, rich, voluptuous and totally sexy. Mocha, chocolate, plums, sweet spices and black cherries jump from the glass in this full-bodied, intense wine. This is one of the more immediate wines of the vintage, but all the elements are very nicely balanced. Once again Caymus has produced a gorgeous Special Selection that is delicious on its own, but that is also remarkable for a relatively large production of 9,600 cases that will make it easy to find.
