Located in Rutherford, in the heart of Napa Valley, Caymus Vineyards is a family-run California winery founded in 1972 by Chuck Wagner, along with his parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr., with just a small production of Cabernet Sauvignon at the time. Today, production continues to focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, with grapes sourced both on the valley floor and in the mountains surrounding the valley. The winery also produces a limited-run Napa Valley Zinfandel in homage to Charlie Wagner Sr., who was a big fan of the grape.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are selected from vineyards planted on stony, low-fertility soils with high planting density, on south-facing slopes where the micro-climate conditions are moderately warm and ensure full ripeness and great concentration.
Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon is a California red with a unique style. It is a rich wine with a dark, dense color. Its aromatic profile is intense with succulent notes of red berries, cassis, and blackberry, and some hints of spices and coffee. On the palate, it is soft and concentrated, full-bodied and powerful. The tannins are firm but ripe and the finish is long and elegant with notes of black cherry and blueberry. Excellent with a roasted lamb shank with herbs, a sirloin steak, or polenta with ragu.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
