  April 12, 2024 - Amazing. Still loads of solid fresh red fruit on nose and palate. Silky tannins, herbs and funk, meaty notes. Nicely balanced.

  October 29, 2020 - This was really quite pleasant; the nose showed some mature notes with damp earth, tobacco, dried violet, then followed by ripe dark berry fruits, just a hint of sanguine, and spice. The palate has good concentration and reasonable balance and while this may not be a world beater, its really very enjoyable.

  July 6, 2020 - This was lovely. There is that distinct cayuse funk (though not over the top here). But definitely a signature style. The blend gives it a bit more structure, the cab providing even a bit of sweetness. It all worked really well together. There were those signature umami flavors that I associate with Cayuse – notes of capscisum, tabasco. This would not be confused with an old world Bdx blend, but also not a Napa one either.

  September 24, 2018 - This is still drinking beautifully. The nose at first was of baked camembert, with some goat cheese (thanks Henry for the descriptors!). On the palate this still has that nice umami taste -- like before, not as much structure as I would expect from a high end Bdx, but drinking quite beautifully. This is perhaps my most favorite Camaspelo so far. Not sure it will improve, but not falling apart yet either.
