About this bottle
Caymus Grand Durif 2018 comes from the Wagner family's Caymus-Suisun label, grown in the warm Suisun Valley just east of Napa. Durif — better known in the U.S. as Petite Sirah — is a naturally dark, thick-skinned grape that produces deeply colored, structured reds, and this bottling leans into that character. Expect a nearly opaque purple color, aromas of blackberry, black pepper, and dark chocolate, with a full-bodied palate carrying plum, licorice, and firm, grippy tannins through a long finish. It's built for people who want a bigger, more rustic red than a typical Napa Cabernet, and it holds up well to bold, fatty food.
How to drink Caymus Grand Durif 2018
Decant it for 30 minutes to soften those grippy tannins before serving around 62-65°F. This is a food wine more than a sipper — put it next to a charred ribeye, barbecue brisket, or a hard aged cheese and let the tannins do their job.

Questions about this bottle
Does this wine need to breathe before serving?
Yes — decant it for 20-30 minutes and serve around 62-65°F. The tannins are firm when the bottle is first opened and soften noticeably with a little air.
What food pairs well with this wine?
Its bold tannins and dark fruit want fat and char to match — think ribeye, barbecue brisket, or a hard aged cheese rather than anything delicate.
What is Durif, and why does it taste different from other reds?
Durif is the grape most Americans know as Petite Sirah — a thick-skinned variety that produces unusually deep color and firm tannin, which is why this bottling drinks bigger and more rustic than a typical Cabernet.
