Caymus Vineyards introduced this California appellation Cabernet with the 2021 vintage, and it's become the brand's entry point into everyday Cabernet. It's a lighter, fruitier style than the Napa Valley bottling, easy enough to pour with dinner but still bold enough to enjoy on its own. Expect a nice bouquet and fruit forward richness on the palate, with just enough tannin to keep things structured. The fruit comes from vineyard sites across California, chosen for climate, soil, and terrain suited to Cabernet, many of them in lesser known regions outside Napa that Caymus has found can produce excellent fruit.
