ORIGINAL: AlarmGuy79 If I were to source Cayuse through wine-searcher, what bottles and vintage would I want to pay attention to? I quite enjoy Syrah from The Rocks AVA that are 100% Syrah or have a small percentage of Viognier. I currently have a GOK in my cellar aging but certainly paid a hefty premium to get it. Thanks. David, Cayuse is one of the wines I really feel does well in both "great" and "off" vintages, I think the style and winemaking give it the ability to show consistently each vintage. If you are looking for great vintages, 2007, 2008, 2012 are super vintages but may come with a tariff. 2012 is my bet for the long haul, I went long in 2012 I think you will get more satisfaction and bang for the buck if you avoid GOK and Bionic Frog. Watch for some Cailloux or En Cerise / En Chamberlain vineyard, you might be able to nab some at a reasonable price and these are great vineyards and showcase much of what Cayuse is about. Good luck!
