Big Pig Shiraz, 2014
WOW!! This is a phenomenal drop! Silky and sexy, lush berries and sweetly spiced with liquorice and vanilla. Absolute perfection, I think this just may be the best wine I've ever tasted, and that's saying something. 10/10 — 3 years ago
Color is tawny red with some signs of bricking. A savory rich nose: initial cherry and subtle Cayuse funk with some bacon, gravely rock, and floating notes of sweet florals. The taste just jumps from the glass - a soft juicy mixture of black cherry-plum fruit, stewed meat and minerals, tobacco and a raspberry pencil lead medium plus finish. Tannins smooth, but could still use some aging. The Flying Pig is a first and lives up to the Cayuse brand. A lucky find! — 4 years ago

Mary BD 11/19/21 with suckling pig. Opened at the end. Terrific Barolo with all the classic varietal profile. Pleasure to drink though didn’t quite match the Brunello in pairing the pig. Last one and winery defunct. — 3 years ago
