Saturday, May 29, 2010 - 5-1/2 hour double decant and bottle left open in the cellar. 67% cabernet; 25% merlot, 8% cab franc. This is a great wine. My wife and I both loved it. Complex red fruit and meaty flavors with some chocolate notes and a bit of something that reminded me of caramel without the sweetness. Very nice mouthfeel (almost velvety from the merlot), dark color, and power than did not shrink away from the grilled New York strip steak we had for dinner. There is a lot going on in this wine and each taste revealed additional flavor potential. My first Cayuse. If the Camaspelo is this good, the Bionic Frog syrah, which is supposed to be significantly better, must be other worldly.
