Caymus California 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL is a bold and approachable California Cabernet Sauvignon from Caymus Vineyards, crafted by the Wagner family. Unlike the winery’s Napa Valley bottling, this California appellation release sources fruit from vineyards across the state, creating a rich and fruit forward Cabernet with Caymus’ signature smooth, luxurious style at a more accessible profile.

Full bodied and velvety, it opens with aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, and dark cherry, followed by layers of cocoa, vanilla, mocha, and toasted oak. The 2022 vintage delivers concentrated dark fruit flavors balanced by soft tannins and a silky mouthfeel, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering spice, oak, and ripe fruit sweetness. It is an excellent wine for everyday luxury, entertaining, and pairing with hearty meals.
