Community Tasting Note

  June 5, 2010 - Blind Grenache Tasting w/ Ben Smith, Dick Boushey, Bob Betz, and MrBigJ (Wild Ginger, Seattle, WA): (Group's #1 (my #3)) – 4 first place votes, 3 second place votes, 2 third place votes, 1 fourth place vote, 0 fifth place votes – It's hard to put a Cayuse wine in the lineup with this group and not have it get picked out and labeled as such fairly quickly. That was the case here. I think this was dubbed Cayuse even before everyone's glass had some in it... It did have that very distinctive Cayuse nose though, and I think that most of the tasters would have picked up on it right away also. The mixed red fruit flavors on the palate turned to slightly sour raspberries and strawberries during the medium-long finish.
