Caymus Vineyards is one of the most contested names in American wine. Established in Rutherford, Calif., a sub-AVA of Napa Valley, in 1972, the winery was founded by the Wagner family, which had been growing and selling grapes to others in the region for decades. Practically immediately, the winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon rose in popularity. For that reason, Caymus made the decision to scale its wines to be available nationwide.
