Caymus Vineyards, renowned for its exceptional Napa Valley wines, has extended its expertise to Suisun Valley, a region just southeast of Napa. The Caymus Suisun Grand Durif 2021 is a striking expression of this unique area. Durif, also known as Petite Sirah, thrives in the warm, maritime-influenced climate of Suisun Valley, delivering a wine that is rich in both flavor and structure. With its deep, regal garnet color and extraordinary depth, this wine embodies the distinctiveness of the region while showcasing the Wagner family's commitment to quality and innovation.

Colour: A regal garnet red, the wine presents an inviting and deep hue, hinting at its richness and intensity.

Aroma: The nose is plush and evocative, with captivating scents of beef ribs cooked over an open fire, mingling with potpourri and dark plums. These aromas combine savory, earthy notes with the lush fruit character of the wine, creating a complex and enticing bouquet.

Palate: The wine enters the palate with a luxurious softness and fills every corner of the mouth. It strikes a perfect balance between structure and extravagant flavors of dark fruit, such as ripe blackberries and plums. The tannins are intense, grainy, and incredibly fine, providing both a firm structure and a silky texture.

Finish: The finish is slow and lingering, returning to the aromatic notes of the nose with subtle traces of potpourri and unsweetened powdered cacao. The finish is persistent, leaving a rich and lasting impression of dark fruit and spices.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it

For the red wine lover who reaches for big, structured bottles, this 2021 Durif from the Wagner family of Caymus Vineyards makes a thoughtful, grown-up gift. Durif, also called Petite Sirah, thrives in the warm, maritime-influenced climate of Suisun Valley, just southeast of Napa. Here it pours a deep garnet, with a nose of fire-cooked beef ribs, potpourri and dark plums. The palate is soft on entry, then fills out with ripe blackberry and plum, held in place by intense yet very fine, grainy tannins. The finish lingers on potpourri, unsweetened cacao and spice. It suits a milestone birthday, a promotion dinner, or a host who loves to grill. It also gives the recipient a choice: open it now alongside a smoked rack of ribs, or lay it down, since the wine is expected to keep evolving over the next five to ten years. Serve it slightly cool in a large tulip glass and let it breathe.

Pairs well with

Smoked beef ribs — The wine's own aroma of beef ribs cooked over an open fire echoes the smoke and char, while its dark plum fruit balances the richness.
Aged cheddar or gouda — Hard, aged cheeses stand up to the intense, grainy tannins and draw out the blackberry and cacao notes.
Promotion celebration dinner — Its luxurious, layered profile of dark fruit, potpourri and spice makes it feel like a special-occasion bottle worth raising at a milestone meal.

Questions about this bottle

Durif is the grape also known as Petite Sirah. This bottling is made from Durif grown in Suisun Valley, where the warm, maritime-influenced climate helps it deliver a wine rich in both flavor and structure.

Expect aromas of beef ribs cooked over an open fire, potpourri and dark plums, followed by a soft, full palate of ripe blackberry and plum. The tannins are intense, grainy and very fine, and the long finish brings back potpourri with traces of unsweetened powdered cacao and spice.

Either works. The wine can be enjoyed now, and thanks to its deep structure and fine tannins, it is expected to continue evolving and gaining complexity over the next 5 to 10 years, which makes it a good fit for a recipient who likes to collect.

Serve it at around 60-65°F (16-18°C), slightly cooler than room temperature, in a large, tulip-shaped wine glass. That gives the wine room to breathe and fully express its aromatics and flavors.
