Description
When we started producing Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif, we told ourselves that “the wine would have to be great, or would not bear the Caymus name.” Grapes from Suisun Valley have exceeded our highest expectations. Durif is synonymous with Petite Sirah – we added “grand” to the name for this wine’s luxurious softness.
Cabernet from the state of California
We believe in being both serious and playful, and this wine fits the bill. A rich, dark red, it offers aromas of ripe berries and plums, warmed by a hint of cocoa. Dried fruit and the taste of chocolate-covered cherries come through on the palate, while a wisp of smokiness makes this wine – created from dark red varietals including Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon – the perfect complement to grilled meats and full-flavored dishes. Tannins are rounded out by the ripeness of the berries for a texturous but smooth mouth feel. The finish makes us think of lingering at the end of a long evening and still not wanting to go home, with layers of rich flavor that teasingly trail off.
