Cayuse Vineyards
En Cerise Vineyard Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Pours purple in color. Aromas of plum and some smoke and baking spice. Plum mint and savory favors. Favors are more outstanding than the aromas. Medium bodied with a shorter finish than typical for Cayuse. For 2005 it still holding

Apr 25th, 2015Braised herb pork sliders served with a variety of Syrahs rosay. Overall, the funkier the Syrah, the better the pairing. This Syrah was the funkiest on the table by far. Not really my bag, but was my contribution to the event. I can respect Cayuse for what they contribute to the wine world. Wow, what a crazy Syrah at almost 14 years old. Still with AMPLE fruit. Grilled meat and smoky character. I was getting a little bit of fig and ash in the middle. Robust. Very nice!!

Jan 26th, 2019That's a yummy wine! Big plum, chocolate - super inky, Holly says it's soft, hmmm, our Tacoma friends say is has less twang, smooth, the 2005 for sure is smooth. This bottle of wine is for Holly's Dad - 74 today, but I think it's just for Holly! There is some cherry in this wine! The kitchen review board, Sean & Nadine, likes this wine - Kathy says a little smokey, agree with the plum flavor, lots of experts!!! Happy Birthday Jim!

Strong funk when opened. Decanted one hour and evolves. Mineral, mushroom, wet rock. "Unique" nose keeps me interested and going back.
