Seamless, beautifully transparent and light, tannins fallen away and left a surge of transparent energy. At first, an animal quality, horse stable notes, musk, and mincemeat. Then this resolves into pure, incisive peony, lavender and white truffle. Stunning.
Wow. Can’t keep my nose out of the glass. Every sip is like a new passage. With time, I’m increasingly taken with this wine. Increasingly acknowledging it may be as close to perfect as just about anything else I’ve tried.

From a great tasting at Cayuse Vineyards with Christophe Baron/Trevor Dorland.

First Cayuse experience. Was nervous it might be blown out, but this was pretty spectacular. Packed with savory aromatics and fruit. Bold and full, but modest alcohol (13.6) with structure to balance.

Parkers/ Jebs latest Cayuse 💯 pointer,
Has that distinctive Washington nose to it, not bad even on P&P, see how it develops with a decant

Simply outstanding WA Syrah. Beguiling nose of scorched earth and flowers, undergrowth. Southern Rhone on the palate, but on the smoother side, meat, leather, asian spice. The '13 was even a notch better!
