  Just not a good bottle of wine. Stored properly and healthy, just not to my liking. Bitter, one dimensional and out of balance. Just don't like this style of wine making.

  Tomlee nails the note below. It takes just a few minutes to open up but when it does, it's an absolute stunner. Beautifully balanced, savory notes and long finish. Loved it.

  Ruby red in color. 13.5% ABV. Stunning nose of red fruits, olive tapenade and flowers. Medium body with perfect acidity. Fresh and silky with earthy fruits. Cherry, kirsch, saline and minerals on the palate. The finish is long and supple. For me, 2014 has always been one of the best vintages of GOK and the wine has aged admirably. Likely best over the next 1-2 years.

  A bit meh to be honest. Not showing tell tale funk - maybe a little lighter than expected as well. Does not smell or taste flawed, maybe just a poor bottle, which is unusual for Cayuse.

  Color/App: dark, slightly translucent ruby core -> diffuse crimson/cranberry rim; medium + viscosity. Once again, GOK does not disappoint, presenting the quintessential CDP/Burgundy mash-up. Bouquet on PnP of saline-iodine-brine-funk (that Cayuse thang -- though less here than on some of the Syrahs), pomegranate, beetroot and Southern-Rhone Grenache spice. As with the '07, a smooth, juicy palate showing beautiful acidity (almost Burgundian you say?), an elegant, well-balanced midpalate and lovely, long finish. I think this vintage skews a little more Burgundian than others I've enjoyed as the bright acidity remained dominant while the gamey, spicy elements lessened slightly over the course of 2+ hours. Palate of kirsch, cranberries, some earth, spice and overarching minerality. I've grown to enjoy this bottling of Cayuse more than even Bionic Frog due to its propensity to mesh perfectly with most food. Can certainly pull the cork now and for 5+ more years, easily.
