  This is still a big wine. Needed a decant and even an hour of air was not enough. Nose was barn and funk. Tastes like salami stick with note of bacon fat. Not for everyone but the uniqueness is mind blowingly good.

  Seriously excellent, very high end, drinking just beautifully and perhaps just slightly past prime, highly recommend. Time to drink up any remaining holdings. No need for a decant. Very smooth, fully mature and fully integrated, dark purple with peripheral bricking, oak and tannins resolved with a medium - long aftertaste. Famed Cayuse / the Rocks AVA funk present but very controlled. Nose dark, aromatic, complex and slightly sweet with dark fruit, black pepper, leather and a hint of vanilla after the initial funk / merde blew off. Complex flavor profile of dark cherry, blueberry, leather, plum and coffee with a hint of smoke.

  I generally enjoy the God Only Knows, and this vintage was better than most. Well structured wine. Not as “big” as most God Only Knows. Ready to drink now.

  Lovely wine. I find the Cayuse funk works really well with both Grenache and Syrah, and this was no exception. There is a creamy pepperiness to the nose, then some nice black pepper, with some stewed red fruits. This works well.

  It was good, but as with the last bottle, ripe to the point of soupy w/o quite getting there - tasty but close to the edge - served our purpose as a sipper, but for my taste, a bit hot and lacking in freshness. I'd consume these now.
