  Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): I was hoping that the 2018 represented a regime change for the better, but in hindsight it was the anomaly. Back to a darker profile, with leather and licorice again. Far less delicacy, this is brooding and heavyset. Given all the vintages tasted tonight, par for the course.

  Still very green but complemented by black tea and dark fruits. This will probably get better with time but will always be bitter.

  Opened for 3 hours. Color is deep garnet. On the nose: Pepper, olive, Sour cherry funk, iron and cassis. Nose is not subtle. On the palate: Sour cherry, cassis, olives, cured meat, barnyard funk, pepper and lavender. It’s a great wine. I love Cayuse and its siblings. When I lived in Hong Kong / Shanghai I always looked for it to introduce locals to a great American wine.

  I agree with knorthrip. Very flavorful syrah with nice acidity. Cayuse is unique.

  Great Washington funk. Nice texture and balanced wine. Classic Syrah notes with a real unique accent to it. It evolved a lot over time. Day 1: 91/92
  
  Even better on day 2 when it really integrated more and became more elegant. Day 2: 93
