Caymus Suisun Grand Durif 2018

Suisun Valley delivers a powerhouse Petite Sirah with remarkable elegance.

The 2018 vintage opens with an intoxicating bouquet of crushed violets and warm baking spices that immediately signals this wine's serious intentions. On the palate, waves of concentrated blueberry compote roll across the tongue, supported by a backbone of fine-grained tannins that speak to careful extraction. Mid-palate richness reveals layers of dark chocolate ganache and anise, while black pepper notes dance through the lengthy finish. The Suisun Valley terroir shines here, providing both power and restraint. This wine will continue developing beautifully through 2028, though its approachable nature makes it rewarding now.

🍷 You want to experience Petite Sirah's full potential without the California cult wine price tag.
