I love Cayuse. And I have loved No Girls Syrah. But this Grenache was overly harsh mid palate and on the finish. Lovely nose of strawberry, raspberry and spice; palate begins with soft red fruit, but immediately gives way to flavors of twig, bark, soil, and rind. Very disappointed.

Just incredible. After an hour decant, it was still wound tight, though showing some tawny notes. Over the following hour, it really came together as a stunning Chateauneuf-de-pape. On the nose: violets, mushrooms, menthol, cherry. On the palate: cherry liqueur, christmas spice, supple/silky tannin, bay leaf, earl grey. Long finish. One of the best wines around.

Silky. No hard edges. Wine opened up within 30 minutes. Lovely tannin. Great fruit. Solid stuff. Elegant.
