The Wagner family were farmers with deep roots in the Napa Valley – in 1857, Chuck Wagner’s great-great grandfather captained a wagon train to California from Bible Grove, Missouri. Working together for decades, Chuck Wagner and his parents established the family’s work ethic, appetite for innovation, down-to-earth sensibility, and deep appreciation of the pleasures of good food and wine enjoyed with family and friends.Today, Caymus Cabernet is one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated wines. Made from grapes farmed in 8 of Napa Valley’s 16 appellations, the wine has a signature style that is dark in color, with rich fruit and ripe tannins – as approachable in youth as it is in maturity. Chuck Wagner continues to make two world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignons – Caymus Napa Valley and Caymus Special Selection. Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is the only wine in the world to be honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s “Wine of the Year” for the 1984 and 1990 vintages.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-02T17:03:47-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-31T11:05:33-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","MK3101","Other_Wine","Producer_Caymus Vineyards","Region_Washington","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Shiraz \u0026 Syrah"],"price":149899,"price_min":149899,"price_max":149899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42751128633482,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Caymus Vineyards | Bionic Frog Syrah","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":149899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_7f93ad55-d1d5-44a1-ac78-584970fd1008.png?v=1675181446"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_7f93ad55-d1d5-44a1-ac78-584970fd1008.png?v=1675181446","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Caymus Vineyards | Bionic Frog Syrah at CaskCartel.com","id":24120344150154,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.482,"height":637,"width":307,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_7f93ad55-d1d5-44a1-ac78-584970fd1008.png?v=1675181446"},"aspect_ratio":0.482,"height":637,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_7f93ad55-d1d5-44a1-ac78-584970fd1008.png?v=1675181446","width":307}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2016 | Caymus Vineyards | Bionic Frog Syrah\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a darker and deeper character that sets this syrah apart from the rest at Cayuse.
