Emmolo Winery belongs to the Wagner family. The two heads behind this project are Cheryl Emmolo and her daughter Jeny Wagner. Caymus Vineyards was founded in 1971 in Rutherford (California, USA), by Charlie Wagner and Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, after a long history of vineyard cultivation, dating back to 1906.
In 1972 Charlie Wagner, his wife Lorna and their son Chuck produced their first vintage, using grapes from their 55 hectares of vineyard, at a winery named after the Mexican land concession known as Rancho
Caymus, granted to George Yount in 1836, encompassed what later became the town of Rutherford and surrounding areas. Today the vineyards are still being operated by the family in the fifth generation, led by Chuck, Joe and Charlie Wagner, with nearly 350 hectares, in 14 different locations in the Napa Valley area, planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir grape varieties, with an average age of 40 years.
They make their wines in Napa Valley (California, USA) under the brands Conundrum, Mer Soleil, Belle Glos and of course Caymus.
