Caymus Vineyards
Suisun Valley Grand Durif
Suisun Valley, North Coast, California, USA
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.

A great Petit Sirah from the Wagner family. Showing black fruits with chocolate notes, wood, vanilla, cloves, tobacco, coffee, Coke, spices and black pepper.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and extremely fruity on the palate. Might have some RS.
Nice length on the finish with fine tannins.
Big bold and beautiful.

Oct 13th, 2021Holy moly, this is a mocha bomb! Cocoa and spice dominate, but are offset by deep dark fruits, spice and balanced tannins. Wonderful, but not for the faint of heart!
