  What a great bottle! Very dark garnet in the glass, though the clear meniscus is noticeably large. Alluring nose, sweet violet on top of a mixture of olive and seawater. Still fresh in the mouth, a mixture of sweet berry, meat, olive, and a long saline finish. The acidity also comes through on the finish. I liked it best with food, especially the steak I grilled last night.

  This is clearly past its prime, and turning into a bad place. Starting to pick up port flavors... This was an experiment for me. I’ve had some great aged Cayuse and wanted to seem what happens to them when over the hill. Now I know!

  was past it's prime, mellowed out, good acidity, still drank fairly well. I would have liked to have drank it 5 years ago.

  750ml; PnP; opaque crimson red color - no bricking; Nose shows the typical Cayuse horse saddle funk preceding a yummy dark fruit and chocolate cordial to the head, followed by provincial herbs. Semi-sweet dark fruity flavors with gouda cheese, leather, olives, pencil lead and chocolate. Texture is pretty thick, with saltwater, fruit, and acidity lingering for quite a while. Pretty intense beverage - a bottle for us to drink over the course of a few hours, not a few minutes.
