Our take
What we make of this bottle
The lowest observed price for this California white was $13.99, and the highest was $31.99, in our September 2026 checks. It is a white blend, and our record does not name the grapes that go into it, so at the shelf you can treat it as a blend rather than a single-grape wine. We do not have a shopper rating for this bottle.
The brand behind it is Caymus Vineyards, which says the Wagner family established the winery in 1972 and has owned and run it ever since. That 1972 date is the company's own, not a detail of this particular blend. The winery gave that account when we checked with Caymus in August 2026.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
