Red Schooner Voyage 11 (75cl, 14.9%)

Red Schooner Voyage 11 is a 750ml Argentine Malbec from Caymus Vineyards, made from grapes sourced in Mendoza's Andes Mountains and vinified in Napa Valley. The Wagner family ships chilled Malbec grapes across the ocean to California, where they are fermented and aged using Caymus techniques. Voyage 11 corresponds to the 2021 harvest. In the glass it is cherry-red, with ripe plum, blackberry, wild sage, scrub brush, saddle leather and campfire smoke on the nose. The palate is silky, with dark plum, blackberry, spice and licorice, supported by fine-grained tannins. The finish is medium-long, velvety, with dark fruit and dried spice.
