Dense fruit, orange rind, refined and a lovely acidity. Clear impression of botrytis and candied orange peel. Dry and with a piercing acidity. Lovely wine.
This is simply packed with compact red fruit. A huge wall of tannins but also an equal amount of acidity. Lots of black pepper and dried herbs. Loads of fruit, depth and a very long aftertaste. Almost a painful wine to taste but with a huge potential for improvement over the next 10-20 years. 96-97p
Red apples and brown butter but also almonds cakes and caramel. The wine is clearly oxidized but not in an unintentional way. There is plenty of freshness and green apples also making it a very impressive wine! LOVED it.

Juicy plum and huge structure. Seems a bit closed and has a short aftertaste. But, there is a huge potential.

Black currant fruit. Refined and "bright" flavors. It is a bit special but not with the normal Cayuse funk.
