About the Wine

If you love Caymus… this one’s going to feel very familiar.

This Napa Valley wine family traces its roots back to the 1850s, built on generations of grape growing, hands-on craftsmanship, and an instinctive understanding of what makes great wine.

In 1972, that legacy took a defining turn with the creation of one of Napa’s most iconic Cabernet houses, setting a benchmark for bold, expressive wines that helped shape the modern identity of the region. Decades later, the family continues to push boundaries, guided by the same confidence and precision that turned that original winery into a household name.

That spirit of exploration has led to another standout masterpiece from the Caymus family, one that reimagines how and where great wine can be made. Instead of staying rooted in a single place, this project looks outward, blending world-class fruit with Napa’s unmistakable winemaking DNA. It’s a bold idea executed with the same care, polish, and instinct that have defined the family’s greatest successes.

The journey begins high in Argentina’s Andes Mountains, where Malbec thrives in extreme conditions that naturally deliver intensity, freshness, and depth. After harvest, the grapes are carefully chilled and sent on an ocean voyage to Napa Valley, where the family’s signature techniques shape the wine into something dark, supple, and deeply satisfying. The result is a full-bodied, polished Malbec that carries the imprint of two continents and the unmistakable touch of a family that knows exactly how to craft crowd-pleasing wines at the highest level.

Tasting Notes 

This wine delivers a quintessential Red Schooner expression, opening with deep, alluring dark fruit on both the nose and palate. 

Finely textured tannins bring polish and grip, giving the wine its signature smoothness and full-bodied presence. Rich, seamless, and deeply satisfying, it captures the bold yet refined style that defines this transoceanic Malbec.
