About The Wagner Family and Caymus Vineyards - Legendary Cabernet Sauvignons

The Wagner Family, an emblem of vinicultural excellence, has a rich history that intertwines with the very roots of Napa Valley's winemaking tradition. Their journey began in 1972 when Charlie Wagner, alongside his wife Lorna and son Chuck Wagner, established Caymus Vineyards in the heart of Napa Valley. What started as a humble family endeavor has blossomed into a remarkable legacy, crafting wines that are not merely beverages but stories in a bottle—ideal for wine gifts, corporate gifting, or thoughtful wedding presents.

Caymus Vineyards quickly became synonymous with tradition and excellence, producing some of the most acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the world. Their regular Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a standout expression of the region's terroir, featuring rich layers of dark fruits, subtle spice, and smooth tannins—an ideal pairing for gatherings and celebrations. The Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, produced only in the finest vintages, represents the pinnacle of their craft. With remarkable depth, a velvety texture, and long aging potential, Special Selection is a true celebration of the Wagner family's winemaking legacy and is widely regarded as one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious offerings.

Every bottle of Caymus reflects the winery’s unwavering dedication to quality and the art of winemaking. Personalizing a Caymus bottle—whether through engraving a name, message, or company logo—elevates the wine to a lasting symbol of appreciation and celebration. Whether for a birthday, anniversary, corporate milestone, or heartfelt thank you, a customized Caymus gift leaves a lasting impression.

Beyond Caymus, the Wagner family has expanded their portfolio to include other exceptional brands, each with its own story and style. Mer Soleil captures the essence of the Santa Lucia Highlands with its elegant Chardonnays; Conundrum offers a distinctive blend of white varietals; Belle Glos is celebrated for its expressive Pinot Noirs; and Emmolo delivers beautifully balanced Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. Together, these labels reflect the Wagner family’s commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and showcasing the character of each unique vineyard.

Whether commemorating a milestone, expressing gratitude, or marking a new beginning, wines from the Wagner Family—especially a bottle of Caymus—make every occasion unforgettable. Their legacy of excellence, combined with options for personalization, makes these wines the ultimate gift of taste, tradition, and thoughtfulness.
