While it didn't have the aromatic qualities of a Pinot, I only tried one bottle and plan to sample more to identify consistent characteristics. Caymus also offers an intriguing choice called Red Schooner , made with Mendoza Malbec grapes from Argentina.

Build Quality The build quality feels flimsy, especially the case hinge, ...
