2012 Vintage. Still some pine notes when first opened which blew off more over time than our last bottle.

Dec 7th, 20202012 Vintage 13.6% Alcohol. Disappointing. Over the top pine nose and taste. Not a provenance issue as purchased winery direct and in commercial storage since.

An incredible year for this wine, and human society. It transports me back to 2012. I raise a glass to that time with hopes that feeling will return soon.

A few friends got together to drink a couple Cayuse “Armada” wines. One was a 2005 library wine purchased over the summer and the 2012 I had. The biggest difference between the two was the long finish on the 2005. I do feel if you give the 2012 a few more years it will be the overall better wine. I felt like it had more going on. The 2012 was fresh and lively just without the long finish.
