Caymus Red Schooner Voyage 8

A Caymus style of Mendoza Malbec. It's an iron fist in a velvet glove—rich fine tannin – a Mendoza dust fine texture. This wine has a very refined character, which is unique and singular. Caymus Red Schooner Voyage 8 is unfined and has already thrown a bit of sediment, representing the rich and natural concentration of abundant quality. This Malbec is made from grapes grown in the Andes Mountains, shipped chilled to Napa Valley, and produced with the same techniques as the Caymus Cabernet.

The Caymus Red Schooner Voyage 8 is vibrant cherry red and opens with a warm, alluring nose. Aromas of ripe plums mix with the rustic scents of the high desert – scrub brush, wild sage, saddle leather, the smokiness of a campfire, and a hint of pomace. The palate is silky and smooth, with lush plums and grippy tannins touching the tongue's side. An earthy character of leather and cooking over an open fire carries through to the long finish, whose fruit tapers off and yields toasted wood.
