(Cayuse Vineyards Cailloux Vineyard Syrah Walla Walla Valley) Dark in color. This wine pops aromatically with orange peel, floral notes, roasted meat, umami, and mineral notes. The palate is soft and perfumed with incredible intensity and length and fine grained tannins. 100% Syrah. 14.8% alcohol. 754 cases produced.

Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Almost seems like a regime change with this wine -- its black fruit has a much more confectionary aspect to it, and the ripeness is far more pronounced as well. Sweet and juicy, but at the same time, reasonably held in check.

P&P - Mature Old School Cayuse here - loads of wet animal fur and smoke. With time more black fruits emerged to tone this down tad. At peak, not falling off a cliff anytime soon, I'd advise a 90 minute decant if you are opening this soon.

Bu au resto AVV Comme chez soi de Bromont
avec les FOUDUVIN!
A moins bien paru que les autres bues et est
apparu un peu fanné avec une certaine amertume.
Des mures et des olives avec un
peu d'herbes.
Pas vraiment long, nous laisse sur des relents
de tapenade.

Popped and poured over 60 minutes. Quintessential Cayuse animal aroma that is almost overpowering on the nose, but mellowed after 30 minutes of air. Initial flavors of pepper, black cherry and salted meats. Very Northern Rhone like and in a sweet spot. Fantastic balance of acid, alcohol fruit and tannin. 30 seconds on the finish and was better with food than by itself. Happy to drink up now or over the next few years.

Tasted seven times from 2014 to 2021. Some variation in my scores. This bottle was excellent but not as great as some prior ones.
Typical Cayuse syrah style, fully mature.
