  June 23, 2021 - Slow ox'd in bottle for 3 hours prior to pouring. Dark ruby, rusty red rim. Nose of barnyard, mint, burnt(?) stems, charred meat, savory herbs, candied fruit. On the palate, very focused and silky mouthfeel, initial hit of salinity, stems, tart fruit, fernet-like herbaceousness. Short finish of more stems (so stemmy!), bitter tart fruit, slight tannins, heat.
  
  After an hour in glass, palate evolved to be much more sweet fruit forward, heat, less stemmy, plush. Round medium finish. Utterly delicious.
  
  Drink or hold.

  May 8, 2021 - This wine is showing beautifully. Earthy, mushrooms, tobacco, red plum, blackberry and meaty. Very stylistic of producer.

  December 25, 2020 - I think sub-optimal storage resulted in this one falling apart...tons of VA, very limited fruit, just not good at all. Very sad, as my previous bottle was closing in on perfection. NR

  April 24, 2019 - From the young vines the classic Cayuse mineral, rock and black olive notes are there but not yet as intense.
  
  Great value!
