Red Schooner Voyage 11 by Caymus
| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nGrapes for this Malbec are grown in the Andes Mountains of Argentina, then chilled and transported by ocean voyage to Caymus, where we use our winemaking techniques to create a style that is dense, dark and supple. Falling outside standard labeling rules, Red Schooner does not include a vintage date but is known by the voyage from which it traveled (i.e. Voyage 11 is the 2021 vintage). Strikingly smooth, with scents and flavors of dark fruit and fine, textural tannins.\r\nAbout Red Schooner\r\nRed Schooner started with appreciating good Malbec. We considered making this wine from vineyards in Napa Valley, but decided we\u00a0should source the grapes from the place that is\u00a0most\u00a0widely recognized for having ideal conditions for this varietal. We found ourselves asking: Could we create a wine at Caymus Vineyards \u2013 our family winery \u2013 using fruit from another part of the world?\u00a0That question inspired the idea for Red Schooner, a \u201cRed Wine of the World\u201d that is about the thrill of voyage and discovery.\r\nThis Malbec is made from grapes grown in the Andes Mountains of Argentina and shipped chilled to Napa Valley. We then produce the wine in our Caymus style \u2013 dense, dark, powerful and supple. Falling outside standard labeling rules, Red Schooner has no vintage date, but instead\u00a0is known by the voyage from which it has traveled. Charlie Wagner, Red Schooner\u2019s director of winemaking, notes that he loves this wine\u2019s lush softness \u2013 as well as the spirit of experimentation that lies behind its creation.\r\n |
