Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 6
Bonanza is a California Cabernet Sauvignon that speaks to the simple pleasures of day-to-day life. Created by Chuck Wagner of Caymus Vineyards, this wine is delicious, accessible and enjoyable over a meal. It’s made from the “bonanza” of our great state – vineyard sites that hold potential to produce good Cabernet but are often overlooked. Features flavors of luscious fruit, dark chocolate and silky tannins.
Nose: Blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, tobacco, eucalyptus, and sometimes bell pepper. The oak influence adds aromas of vanilla, spice, and chocolate.
Palate: Full-bodied with high tannins, flavors of black fruit, cassis, cedar, earth, and mint chocolate.
Finish: Lingering tannins with flavors of fruit and oak.
Pairing
Burgers: Especially ones with bold toppings like blue cheese, aged cheddar, or smoky barbecue sauce.
Aged Cheeses: Cheeses like Gouda, cheddar, or Gorgonzola can stand up to the wine's tannins and complement its fruitiness.
Hearty Pasta Dishes: Lasagna or spaghetti with meat sauce can be a great match, especially if the sauce is rich and tomato-based.
Grilled Vegetables: Grilled Portobello mushrooms, eggplant, or peppers can create a surprising and delicious pairing.
History
The Wagners have roots in Napa Valley dating back to the 1850s, with a long family history of grape growing and winemaking. In 1972, Chuck Wagner started Caymus Vineyards with his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Wagner Sr. Working together for decades, they established Caymus Cabernet as one of the region’s most celebrated wines.
Today, Chuck continues to produce two world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignons, Caymus Napa Valley and Caymus Special Selection. In addition, Chuck is head of winemaking for Bonanza, a California Cabernet Sauvignon that celebrates the endless discovery of vineyard land throughout the state. He also produces Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif, a Petite Sirah from neighboring Suisun Valley. A “hidden gem” wine region only a short drive from Napa, Suisun has become the Wagners’ second home, with exceptional growing conditions for a range of varietals.
Since Caymus Vineyards was founded, the Wagner family has worked with the soils and climate of Napa Valley to develop techniques for farming grapes and producing fine wine. They are now applying those techniques to making a range of wines from other parts of California and beyond. Their winemaking business remains entirely family-run, and two of Chuck’s children, Charlie and Jenny Wagner, now work alongside him.
Chuck, Charlie and Jenny all feel extremely fortunate to be spending their days exploring California in pursuit of making extraordinary wine, year after year and generation after generation.
