Caymus Zinfandel California 2022

Caymus Zinfandel California 2022 is a bold, generously fruited expression of California Zin, made by one of Napa Valley’s most iconic names. Originally a favorite of founder Charlie Wagner, this wine reflects the style that helped define Caymus: plush, powerful, and polished, with fruit sourced from multiple California regions to build depth and complexity. In a nod to the original 1974 release, it captures the spirit of classic California Zinfandel with modern clarity and balance.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Zinfandel shows a deep, inviting color that hints at its rich, ripe character. The nose is expressive and layered, with dark plum, mulberry, licorice, violets, and a well-judged note of oak adding spice and warmth. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and generous, delivering sun-ripened strawberry, raspberry tart, mocha, and a subtle mineral edge reminiscent of wet granite. Despite its ample power, the wine maintains impressive purity and freshness. It is approachable now for its lush fruit and supple texture, but it should also hold well over the next few years.

Viininvalmistus
This wine draws fruit from several of California’s key growing areas, including Napa Valley, Lake County, Suisun Valley, Lodi, and Monterey County, allowing Caymus to blend fruit from different terroirs for richness, structure, and aromatic lift. The diverse vineyard sources contribute to the wine’s balance between ripe California opulence and a cleaner, more focused profile. Production details on harvesting and vinification are not provided, but the finished style suggests a carefully managed, fruit-forward approach designed to preserve concentration and polish.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a natural match for grilled steak, barbecued ribs, burgers, or richly seasoned dishes that can stand up to its intensity and ripe fruit. It also works well with smoky dishes, peppered meats, and aged hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to soften the wine and let the aromatics open up fully.
