(Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard) Medium dark purple red violet color; lovely, redolent and poised, light tart plum, herbs, mineral, roasted plum nose with a light smoky quality; delicious, poised, elegant, complex, roasted plum, roasted berry, mineral, light lavender, smoke infused palate; good now but would benefit from 2-plus years; medium-plus finish (co-fermented with 6 to 10% Viognier; vineyard planted 1997; 18 mos. in oak)

By Sean Sullivan
(Cayuse Vineyards Syrah Cailloux Vineyard Walla Walla Valley) Incredibly dark in color. Leaps up with floral notes, mineral notes, and bloody meat aromas. The palate is hugely perfumed, rich, and full with a tremendous mouthfeel. Full of umami flavors, mineral, crushed violets, and meat. A mixture of power and grace. 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier. 785 cases produced.

By Sean Sullivan
(Cayuse Vineyards Cailloux Vineyard Syrah Barrel Sample WWV) Nose is not there at present, although it is starting to develop earth, berry, bacon, and a touch of violets. Big and intense on the palate. Streaky fruit on a wine that is nothing short of exceptional. Seemingly less alcohol than recent vintages. 100% Syrah. 14.1% alcohol. To be released in 2010.

Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Another relatively dialled down edition, maybe a little too much here, as this feels more muted and subdued. Again a red-fruited profile here, with relatively higher acids.

Decanted for 2 hours. Cayuse funk on the nose. Stewed fruit and flint on the palate and a long finish. For me, not worth the price or the hype. There are so many other good syrahs at half the price

Deep color, tons of extracted blueberry fruit, good finish, just not a style I enjoy.
