Caymus Suisun Grand Durif

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Caymus Suisun Grand Durif wraps you in a rush of blackberry compote and cracked black pepper, unfolding into plush waves of dark chocolate and violets that linger long after the glass is set down. Crafted in the United States, this bold red wine showcases the intensity and depth characteristic of Petite Sirah, with an alcohol by volume of 14.80%. Its full-bodied structure and velvety tannins make it a natural companion for grilled lamb or a wedge of aged cheddar, where its ripe fruit core and savory spice notes elevate every bite. If you crave a wine that balances power with finesse, Caymus Suisun Grand Durif delivers an experience as memorable as your favorite meal.
