Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr., opened Caymus Vineyards in 1972, starting off with 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Caymus remains 100% family-owned and run, as the next generation takes on the responsibility of this farming and winemaking operation.
We are thrilled to host you at the winery, where you can taste a variety of wines made by the family.

Chuck Wagner was just 19 when his parents asked him to go “all in” creating a commercial winery. He said yes, and the three worked together for decades. Chuck recalls those times as “the precious history of my life.”

Fast-forward to today: Charlie and Jenny Wagner now carry on the farming and winemaking traditions started by their father and grandparents. Accomplished winemakers in their own right, they believe – like Chuck – that Caymus should continue past any of them, guided by successive generations.

Charlie Wagner Sr. (1912-2002) Charlie was a farmer through-and-through. Before co-founding Caymus, he grew captivated by wine and winemaking, becoming a serious home winemaker. For Charlie, working hard was never something to avoid. He showed us what it means to endure and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

Our wines
Caymus Vineyards is located in the center of the Napa Valley. Primary production is Cabernet Sauvignon grown on low-fertility soils on both the valley floor and the mountains that surround the valley. Attention to viticulture details, some dry farming, high-density plantings (with some blocks spaced as close as meter x meter), thinning of the yield, along with healthy vines and harvesting at an elevated degree of ripeness – all of these elements produce a unique and singular style of Cabernet.
While the wine has sufficient tannins and structure for long-term bottle aging, Caymus Cabernet is dark and concentrated, with ripe, luxurious, fruit-driven softness that shows from the day of release. Each year, we set aside the best barrels of our Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley to produce Special Selection.
In addition, Caymus produces a smaller amount of Special Selection Cabernet. A limited bottling of Napa Valley Zinfandel honors winery co-founder Charlie Wagner Sr., for whom it was a favorite.
Most recently, the Wagners expanded their portfolio even further, launching Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that reflects the greatness of the state’s vineyard land and is supple, dark and rich – bearing the signature hallmarks of Caymus.

Caymus sits alongside a variety of other wines made by the Wagner family, as they have continued to explore other parts of California and even the world.

Introducing a new Cabernet from the state of California
Introduced by Caymus Vineyards with the 2021 vintage, this wine is a California-appellation Cabernet Sauvignon – supple, dark and rich, bearing the signature hallmarks of Caymus. It is sourced from sites throughout the state which feature climatic conditions, soils and topography that are ideally suited to Cabernet. This project stems from excitement over California’s diverse vineyard land, often in lesser-known areas, with the potential to produce exceptional Cabernet. You can watch a video and learn more by scanning the QR code on the back label of this wine, or by clicking here.

Lorna Belle Glos Wagner (1915-2013) Without Lorna, Caymus would not have succeeded. She did not receive much public attention. But whether working the bottling line (or keeping everyone in line), she built a solid foundation to build on. Lorna set an example for living a farming life, quietly caring for the land and people around her.

Everyone who comes to Caymus has a story and has made us what we are today. Thank you all for being a part of our Caymus family.

Cabernet Sauvignon California
I feel this wine expresses the greatness of California and its hidden pockets where Cabernet can excel. The cold Pacific Ocean running the entire length of the state presents maritime influences – and with each small distance eastward the climate warms. Stony soils, south facing slopes and moderately warm conditions are the keys to producing dark, rich and good tasting Cabernet.
