The
Wagners took the name Caymus from the Mexican land grant known as
Rancho Caymus, given to George Yount in 1836, which encompassed what
eventually became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding
area.
The Wagners produced their first vintage in 1972, consisting of 240
cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then, Caymus has focused their
efforts in the production of quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Caymus Vineyards remains 100%
family-owned. Today's
production is 65,000 cases. Farming grapes remains the priority
with the family farming about 350 acres of Napa Valley.
