  11/2/2016 11:03:00 AM - Perhaps we have a miscommunication, but my comments on Caymus Cabernet production are not "inaccurate." The production totals that I noted are from the Wine Spectator (WS) tasting notes and reflect a large increase in production volume for the two bottles of Caymus Cabernets over the past few vintages. My production numbers do NOT include the other labels that are owned / controlled by the Wagner family. I did not pull my information from the recent WS article on the Wagner family as is implied by your post. The production numbers were pulled from the WS site long before the recent article. If WS is posting the wrong case production numbers for individual wines on their reviews, then perhaps my conclusion about Caymus is not accurate but then the error would lie with WS for posting inflated case production numbers. For example, according to WS, Caymus Cabernet production jumped from 72,095 cases in 2011 to 122,158 in 2012. Unless these numbers from WS are not correct, Caymus has clearly ramped up production.

Wine Spectator states in the article their other labels owned and operated by them will be bottled in a new facility in Fairfield. The Caymus production will continue at 43,000 cases.
