Caymus’ New 2022 California Cabernet release – a limited edition roll out.
I’ve been saying that the Wagner’s could use a killer California Cabernet that’s more attractively priced than its Napa counterpart and here it is. Now in its second year, it’s safe to say this is a bonafide success.
Year in, year out the Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is lights out. But lately, the prices have steadily increased while the costs have continued to soar. That has led the Wagners to look outside just their Napa holdings, leaning on their immense resources and secondary vineyards to create something new, exciting and more affordable.
This one is very similar in profile to their Napa Cabernet, it’s supple, dark and rich with a full-bodied feel. That Wagners feel this gives them a chance to celebrate California’s diverse vineyard land, often in lesser-known areas, with the potential to produce exceptional Cabernet and to still blow you away in the process. The beauty in this is that they can do it for a lot less a bottle than they can with the Napa.

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
