Fruit. So much fruit. Like, it’s a good Zinfandel… but its not worth the price. Not even close.

Plush wine a smooth lengthy finish. Delightful nose of plum and vanilla. Tasting notes of mocha and dark berries.

Zin can be too sweet or too harsh, but typical of Caymus this is a crowd pleaser. For that I’ll push it to a 9 instead of going a touch lower.

A delicious Zinfandel, full, rich, smooth and spicy. Flavours of plum and ripe figs make it a perfect compliment to the grilled tenderloin and panzanella

Dark berries, plum and a hint of cocoa. Smooth and will be perfect with rib steaks
