Winery of the Month: America's Wine Family!

Caymus = world class wines Vivino Offers Caymus = world class wines [Vivino]( [ ]( The Wagner Family is all but synonymous with world-class wine from California. It all began with the late Charlie Wanger Sr. who co-founded Caymus Vineyards in 1972 with his wife, Lorna, and son, Chuck. Wine Spectator magazine has called Caymus “one of California's greatest wineries,” having also been named Spectator's “Wine of the Year” twice! Today, fourth-generation Napa native Chuck Wagner Jr. leads the family in their unparalleled endeavors, including continued stewardship of Caymus, alongside Mer Soleil, Conundrum, Emmolo, Red Schooner, Sea Sun, Bonanza, and Caymus-Suisun.

Between labels Caymus, Mer Soleil, Conundrum, Emmolo, Red Schooner, Sea Sun, Bonanza, and Caymus-Suisun, over 279,200 of our users have rated Wagner Family wines! Caymus holds the lion’s share as a 4.6-Star winery with 161,000+ ratings—the equivalent of the most prolonged standing ovation you’ve ever witnessed. We have a limited number of bottle-allocations of several of our all-time favorite Wagner Family wines, and can’t wait to get these out of the Wagner’s cellars and into your hands. SHOP! The Full Lineup (Don't Miss the Special Back Vintage Below): [Grand Durif 2018]( [Caymus-Suisun]( [Grand Durif 2018]( The Suisun Valley (pronounced su-soon) is a 40-minute drive southeast of Caymus, where warm days and cool nights provide the perfect conditions to ripen Petite Sirah. Referred to as the “Durif” grape in Europe, but known as Petite Sirah in the U.S., the grape was propagated throughout southeastern France in the 1880s by one Dr. Durif. The Wagners tacked on “Grand” to the wine’s name because, in classic Wagner-fashion, the style is unabashedly grand. 💥 PRIME example of Spectator’s 2018 “Picture-perfect growing season.” 4.4 Over 3,300 ratings for all vintages! [Red Blend 2018]( [Conundrum]( [Red Blend 2018]( It’s a real conundrum—we can’t always afford to shell out for bit ticket wines. So, what do we do? We buy CONUNDRUM! One of the fastest-growing wines in the country, offered at an amazing price, the Wagner’s Conundrum Red Blend has raked in accolades, climbing to our #4 wine under-$20, and #2 wine across the U.S. This Zin-Petite Sirah-Cab combo offers blackberry, plum, and vanilla, sprinkled with chocolate. Vivino user Aaron U. calls it “everything you want in a Cali blend.” The only conundrum here is how many cases to buy! Similar wines usually cost 55% more. 4.1 685 ratings [Cabernet Sauvignon 2014]( [Caymus]( [Cabernet Sauvignon 2014]( Special cellar release: “There is no doubting that Cabernet Sauvignon is King at Caymus,” wrote Robert Parker, and this gorgeous 2014 vintage proves it. With 4.6 ★ from a jaw-dropping 15,780 ratings, the 2014 is one of the Wagners’ top wines ever made! Among top 1% of all wines in the world. 4.6 15804 ratings A deep opaque purple, the 2014 vintage almost surprises with a sumptuous and alluring bottle bouquet, its earthy character seamlessly balanced on the nose by currant, cassis, brown spice and a wisp of potpourri. The dance between earthiness and fruit continues on the palate, held together by a strong and persistent backbone. Crème de cassis lends a luxurious smoothness. This wine’s tannins mark the finish, as touches of vanilla and toasted oak are nestled in a fine, gritty texture. - Chuck Wagner, (tasted at Caymus on September 24, 2020) [Voyage 8 Non-Vintage]( [Red Schooner]( [Voyage 8 Non-Vintage]( A blockbuster 100% Malbec sourced from—Mendoza in Argentina! You read that correctly! The Wagners have zeroed in on select vines growing in the Andes Mountains of Argentina. The grapes are harvested and cold-transported to Caymus, where this First Family of Wine gives this red the Caymus-style treatment. Because of this unlikely journey, the wine cannot be vintage-dated, so each voyage offers a clue to the vintage (Voyage 8 = 2018). A truly unique Malbec imbued with Wagner-brilliance. Deep, dark, brooding, with supple and delicious fruit. Among the top 1% of all wines in the world. 4.3 194 ratings [Merlot 2018]( [Emmolo]( [Merlot 2018]( Jenny Wagner is making waves. The youngest winemaker in the Wagner family has knocked this Napa Valley Merlot right out of the park (sourced from Oak Knoll vines!). Jenny is bringing a whole new energy to one of Napa’s greatest winemaking dynasties and you can taste it here in this “big bold red,” “embraced with elegant balance and refinement,” as Vivino fan R.C. put it. We’ll add ripe, supple, and plush red-berry fruit accented with generous baking spices and wild crushed herbs. ➣ DYNAMITE 2018 Vintage!
