Meat juice, cigar, menthol, spices and I'm not sensing any fruit in there. The palate shows a huge acid backbone which tends to make it a tiny bit unbalanced if you drink it for itself. It calls for food. There are some tangy red forest fruits all along the palate. A good width with some grip, some weight and matter too. Very harsh tannins kick in in the middle which dry everything up before a long finish with those same red forest berries and a tiny bit of salt. I'll let it breathe for another hour to see if it settles but it's an enraged mustang running in the desert right now. — 4 years ago
Skin contact Pinot Gris may have you wondering what we have here. Red? White? Rose'? Orange? Maybe the best way to think about this is to think about intent. To me, Comme En Rouge is Orange in style and purpose - obviously not color. Too savory, too woodsy and too herbal for rose'; too much glow for red. There's tannin and grip and structure.
Gorgeous color like cherry candy Mustang with a fresh coat of wax. Beautiful aromatics - maraschino cherry, rosemary, palo santo incense. Layered flavors of cherry, green strawberry, dried orange peel, spicy cinnamon.
A fun pour - something different, something I'll remember. — 3 years ago
Aging very nicely. Full bodied, smooth, full of fruit. Nice body and texture. — 6 years ago
Holy extraction grandma. Imagine a bottle of Caymus and a bottle of MollyDooker (any MD, really) met at a party and hit it off.. the Caymus, being outgoing and forgetting it's manners, while slightly inebriated, started dancing a bit too close to the Molly Dooker. She, being equally overt, slightly even more intoxicated, and not being one to say no to a good time, gladly indulged and pulled him closer as the music roared louder. They made their way through the crowd, bumping and grinding, and stumbled out the door to Caymus' sup'd up '69 Mustang Mach 1. Molly, being a thrill seeker with a new found love for Rutherford but a bigger love for adventure, shouted at Caymus as he gripped the wheel - "let's leave this state in our dust!" The two sped across the countryside, hand in hand, and finally ran out of gas as they crossed the state line into Washington. It was there they made love. A lovechild was born. It's name - Levitation. Levi for short.
For those confused - it drinks like a lovechild of Caymus and Molly Dooker coming from Washington. Not bad juice. — 7 years ago

Big, structured pronounced fella that needs a couple days to breathe, open up, and smile a bit. It does and it'll hold that smile for a good four days before turning south.
This is a structured woodsy basket of dark cherries, half fresh picked, half a little bit cooked or stewed. Gets perfumey too. Reaches the back corners of my nose with pomegranate spiced cedar, and cocoa.
Goes down like a cherry red mustang, sidecar of minerals and chalk and leathery restraint. — 2 years ago
