Well, this was the surprise of the year. Fresh, vibrant, fruit forward, depth of flavors, somehow young but with depth/age. Tasted in a group of 20, with multiple wines. Consensus wine of the night. Not sure how I have this left, but wish I had more.

Drank alongside several other top 2019s (Greer, Vineyardist, Pym Rae, and Perchance GIII). All great wines, and this more than held it's own. Darker fruit profile on the nose, with a depth of flavor that the others didn't have. Probably the one wine that could have used more time (decanted for only a couple hours), but maybe the most interesting at this point.

The last review, from 2021, said it could use more time. I agree, but in 2024, even if it could use more time, it is exceptional. Best Cayuse I have had in years. Funk level was low, fruit was dark and present, but everything was in balance - tasted like a well-aged northern Rhône. I have a love-hate relationship with Cayuse, but this was squarely in the love box.
