    February 17, 2019 - A lovely wine, nose of flowers, peach, citrus, a lovely freshness, medium body.

    July 6, 2017 - Another good but not great showing. Fragrant and interesting, but not that rich and ripe and seems a little lacking in weight for the price. Not sure I would buy these again.

    June 6, 2017 - This wine from the '98 vintage is what turned me on to Viognier back in the day, so I was really disappointed to drink through three bottles of this vintage over a year or so and never say 'wow' to myself while drinking it. There are a lot of great big hitter new world Rhone whites out there from Paso, Walla Walla, etc - and based on this vintage, the Cayuse Cailloux aint one of them. My score is based on the missed potential of the vineyard and the wine maker. My main thoughts are that the wine lacked minerality, compelling acidity or typicity. Maybe these bottles were not well handled?
