Caught this at a good time, a particularly harmonious Cayuse. I should have given my guests permission to dislike this as I suspect some were less enthusiastic about the marine layer than I am, but magnums are for sharing and the Syrah freaks among us had a blast. Peaking over the next 5+ years.

From magnum, of course. Decanted 90 minutes. Not much funk (decant may have helped). Nicely balanced flavors with minerality, dark fruits, and earthiness moving from foreground to background. Seamless and polished. Lovely wine much enjoyed by a group with lasagna. May improve slightly from here, 5+ years left IMO.

What a change four years in the bottle makes! This has blossomed into a beautiful wine.

Tamed-down but still a bit funky with steely bitter finish.

In a good place, don’t see it improving.
