Natalie's Score: 93/100

From Suisun Valley, California, Caymus-Suisun Grand 2020 Durif is produced by the Wagner Family of Wines. Crafted from Petite Sirah, a broody wine that is deep violet in the glass but fragrant with blue florals, strawberry jam, dark chocolate, and toasty oak spice flavours supple and soft on the palate. Tannins are dusty. Enjoy it with braised lamb shanks in a red wine sauce. The Wagner family have been sourcing grapes from the Suisun Valley as early as 1982 when the area officially became an AVA.

Durif food pairings: well-marbled ribeye steak, pork roast, roast leg of lamb.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
