The Wagner family has been producing Caymus Cabernet in the Napa Valley since 1972, with the grapes for their benchmark wine being first planted in the mid 1960’s. Chuck Wagner took over the winemaking from his legendary father, Charlie, in 1984. Culled from 25% hillside fruit and aged in French oak, Special Selection is the apex of Cabernet from a winery known for just that.
