Suisun Valley Grand Durif 2016

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Strong Nose with black fruits, cedar vanilla, chocolates, raisins, cooked cherries, Indian spices, peppercorn, tobacco leaf and light smoke.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with alcohol infused cherries, black plums, blackberries, cedar, vanilla, spices, dried fruits, espresso, cola, light herbs, chocolates and peppercorn.

Long, tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This 8-year-old Petite Sirah from California is really delicious now. Showing great complexity on the nose and palate.

Big, bold and extracted. Rich and fruit forward.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely over the next few years. I really enjoyed how complex it has become in the last few years since I last had it.

Still powerful, and good right out of the bottle.

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

One of my favorites! Opened one at home to celebrate the new job and love it. Definitely best out of the cellar but second and third glass were still better than my usual. — 24 days ago

1858 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Wow. This is delightful. Plums and spice, with a little black cherry providing a touch of subdued brightness. Not too imposing tannins dry it out a bit at the finish. In a good way. Man, for $40, I'm the furthest things from mad at this. — a month ago

The Walking Fool Red Blend 2020

Nose is earthy like damp dirt after a rain. Bold start with a body that slightly lingers. Taste is hard to pin point but quite enjoyable. Dryness is balanced. Leaves you wanting another sip. — a month ago

Great! Fruit forward and berry berry. I do believe they put some of that top-rated Caymus in this bottle. It’s that good. — 2 months ago

We recently had this by the glass at Peaks, NYC. We enjoyed it so much that we bought a few bottles. While I consider this to be a “construction site,” I respect what the Wagner’s have accomplished. Not gonna bother with tasting notes as this is just a cherry compote fruit bomb. Tasted using a coravin as a few glasses represents a meal on its own. — 22 days ago

Like Ron, I respect what Chuck and his family have accomplished over their many years. The style of this wine changed in 2012. Chuck made a business decision to pick at higher brix’s thus making a sweeter wine. It paid off for him in higher more consistent Parker scores and likely better sales. I am one who preferred this wine pre 2012 and have made the pitch to a couple of their staff to yeah make this style of new Caymus but also make Caymus Classic. So far, no success. 🤷‍♂️

@David T, I’m right alongside you. I wondered if I should “out” myself on this posting and figured that the truth would set me free 🙃
