Caymus Vineyards

Suisun Valley Grand Durif 2016

9.2

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.

See previous review. I’m trying it again to see how it differed from the 2017 Durif from Berryessa Gap Vineyards. This Petite has Primitivo and Peloursin in as a field blend. The Durif is straight Petite Sirah.

This wine is juicy, big and complex. It’s not showing much softening from age, but it’s a lovely red as I mentioned in my previous review of the 2017. — a year ago
