9.0

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon impresses with peppery florals, exotic spices and black currants. It's soft yet sincere, possessing juicy, zesty acidity and crisp wild berry fruits. A pleasant, bitter, balsamic spice tinge tapers off long and resonates with lavender and violet notes. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2024) — 22 days ago

What a beauty. Has that signature Cayuse funk on the nose. I would be happy just to smell this wine. Black fruit. Beautifully balanced. A serious wine with a silly label. — 2 months ago

80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Syrah. Rocks District Fruit. Dark red/purple color. Expressive aromas of black cherry and crushed stones. The palate is more plum fruit driven with additional notes of roasted herbs, Earl Grey tea and baking spices. Touch of vanilla on the long and velvety finish. Wonderfully balanced. With a bit of aeration, this wine is remarkably refined yet still quite muscular. Well crafted. — 4 months ago

Beautiful label! Had this one for several years now in our cellar and as we are planning to go back to Walla Walla and visit Garrison Creek, this be a good opportunity to taste the 2015 Cab. And… hmmm, a bit disappointed. A bit off balance with strong stringent, Rhubarb like flavors and slight green undernotes. Finish also a little unsettling. By no means a bad wine but had expected more. — a month ago

One of the best big Cabs. Certainly of Washington State it’s the best Cab in that state. Very smooth, deep rich purple hints of berries. 2016 vintage. Absolutely excellent. — 2 months ago

Fun bottle on the nose and palette at a great price. Notes of minerals, gravel and spring water keep things interesting. — 2 months ago

9.2

Walla Walla Bordeaux-Style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (14%) and Malbec (8%). Totally opaque ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of dark fruit, cedar, dried herbs and graphite. Abundant dark cherry/plum/currant/berry flavors with additional notes of those dried herbs, iron and wet soil. Ripe, plush, nicely structured and well layered. Smooth tannins and extremely long finish. Alcohol is noticeable out of the bottle but does calm down with aeration. — 4 months ago

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, oak, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, earth, dark coffee, dark chocolates and black pepper.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Walla Walla Valley in Washington State is drinking very nicely now.

Elegant and rich. Fruit forward with lots of earth notes to compliment it.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years. Spicy and entertaining.

A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.
