Charlie has been making #MerSoleilChardonnay from Monterey County for many years and became intrigued by the possibility of producing Chardonnay from other parts of California #twmlive

@SeaSunWines is the result of this exploration – it’s a California Chardonnay made from grapes grown in three premier coastal regions – Santa Barbara, Monterey and Solano Counties #twmlive

#SeaSun celebrates what Charlie loves about California – its great diversity of farming and the singular influence of the Pacific Ocean #twmlive

#SeaSun is not too buttery or too steely, so people who like different styles of Chardonnay can all find something to like in this wine #TWMLive

The Wagners have always believed in making wines with character, complexity and consistency #Caymus #Cabernet #NapaValley #twmlive

We farm our grapes in well-drained, low-vigor soils, in which the vines struggle to produce a concentrated crop #Caymus #Cabernet #twmlive

Chuck Wagner and his team continually experiment with new farming and winemaking techniques to make better wines #Caymus #Cabernet #twmlive

Charlie Sr used to say “consistency is king.” The signature Caymus style of rich fruit and ripe tannins – enjoyable upon release or with the ability to improve with age for a decade or more #twmlive

#SuisunValley (su-soon) is only a 40-min drive southeast of #NapaValley. Influenced by the San Francisco and Sab Pablo bays, it too has a maritime climate with warm days and cool nights #twmlive

#Suisun AVA has rich soils and historically is known for growing stone fruit. The domain is suited to growing Petite Sirah (also called Durif) #twmlive

We added Grand to the name Durif because this wine is anything but Petite – it is grand in style, rich and tannic yet supple and totally enjoyable #twmlive

#Caymus #SpecialSelection is distinct for its higher tannin content and greater age worthiness. Our end goal is to create a wine with velvet texture and fine tannins #TWMlive
