About the Winery
Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1972 by Chuck Wagner and his parents, Charlie and Lorna, starting with just 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Wagner family’s Napa roots run deep — they had farmed the Rutherford property for decades before turning it entirely over to wine grapes. More than fifty years on, Caymus remains family-run and stands as one of the defining names in California Cabernet.
