Community Tasting Note

Ex-Ray Likes this wine:

Monday, November 24, 2014 - At dinner with '04 Bonny's Vineyard. This completely overshadowed it. The color was dark garnet, completely opaque. The nose extremely pronounced and complex, of smoke, leather, earth, typical of Northern Rhone's best. Very concentrated and full-bodied, but incredibly smooth, balanced, viscous, and rich. Dark berry flavors with smoky, earthy notes. Very long aftertaste, only a slight hint of tannin on the aftertaste. This is perhaps our favorite Cayuse syrah, remarkable and consistent every time we've had it. Perfectly drinkable now, but should hold another few years. It won't get any better, though!
