Welcome to Cavus Vineyards!

Cavus is a family run vineyard nestled in the hillside of the Stag’s Leap appellation in Napa Valley. If you are familiar with Stag’s Leap you know the region is famous for producing earthy, rich, robust Cabernet Sauvignons. Our first release is the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Some of you may know the story of Cavus but we think it is worth sharing with new friends. Darryl Browman has always been a wine enthusiast. His passion for sharing things he loves was a catalyst for starting the vineyard and creating the wine. He also wanted the vineyard name to have personal meaning.

So Cavus, The Cave is a personal tribute to friends, good fortune and life. Darryl and two friends were skiing in Argentina when they took a wrong turn and found themselves stranded on the backside of the mountain with no way out. Night came and they built “a cave” and the three friends settled in for the night not knowing what the future would bring. As good fortune would have it they were rescued 30 hours later, tired, thankful and full of joy.

This experience reinforced our philosophy on drinking good wine: why wait for a “special occasion”? Celebrate life each day and always drink good wine.

"The '06 Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant, Margaux-like red revealing subtle notes of flowers, earth, and red, blue fruits, medium body, and beautiful density, purity, and overall symmetry. ..” 91 points.
