The 2018 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is the crown jewel of the Wagner family portfolio—a powerful, opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that epitomizes richness and approachability. Produced only in exceptional vintages, the Special Selection is sourced from prime estate and grower vineyards throughout Napa Valley, with a focus on achieving depth, lush texture, and seamless balance. The 2018 vintage offers a compelling nose of crème de cassis, blackberry compote, mocha, vanilla bean, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is decadent and full-bodied, with layers of ripe dark fruit, chocolate-covered cherries, and warm baking spices, wrapped in velvety tannins and a long, polished finish. Known for its consistent style and wide appeal, the wine earned 95 points from Wine Spectator, praising its “luxurious texture and vibrant fruit core,” while other critics echoed admiration for its aging potential and sheer concentration. Founded in 1972 by Charlie and Lorna Wagner, Caymus Vineyards quickly rose to prominence through their commitment to crafting bold yet balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. The Special Selection, introduced in 1975, remains the only wine to have twice been named Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year. The 2018 vintage continues that legacy—sumptuous, cellar-worthy, and unmistakably Caymus.
