WINE DESCRIPTION

Red Schooner Voyage is an unusual red wine made by the owner of Napa Valley's Caymus. This wine is made from Malbec grapes grown in the Argentine region of Mendoza that are chilled after harvest prior to shipping to California for processing. While the origin of the fruit is unusual, the winemaking is the same as other wines in the Caymus stable. This is a rich, opulent style of Mlabec with a full body and polished tannins for what can be a rustic variety. This is something for drinkers who love the extreme variety that wine provides.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Red Schooner Voyage is a rich and full-bodied red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Malbec grape variety.It offers a deep, dark color with aromas of violet, plum, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is mouth-filling with a full body, polished grainy tannins, and refreshing balanced acidity. The finish is long and full of coffee oak notes. The Red Schooner Voyage is a wine that pairs well with grilled meats, and hearty stews. Drink with 10 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Red Schooner

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
