Vinous
(14.8% alcohol; harvested on September 30): Full, dark red. Sexy scents of wild raspberry, truffle, olive tapenade and licorice. Wonderfully silky but firm, offering flavors from virtually all of the Syrah food groups: dark raspberry, boysenberry, plum, pepper, licorice, gunflint, smoke, brown spices, game. This wine boasts an uncanny 3-D texture and incredible depth. The ripe tannins are thoroughly buffered by fruit on the slowly building finish, which saturates the palate and the sides of the mouth. A great wine in a rather Hermitage style.Stephen Tanzer1st October 2017

Biodynamic Wines from Walla Walla
Cayuse was founded in the late 1990s when Frenchman Chirstophe Baron established new plantings in the Pacific Northwest, specifically around Walla Walla in Oregon. A true visionary, Baron turned a rocky patch of farmland into some of America's most prized vineyards. Made with passion with a focus on using biodynamic principles, the wines are full, dense, characterful and food friendly.
The wines are only available directly from the winery via a mailing list that reached capacity many years ago. Quirkiness is part of Cayuse's identity - which is characterised by a combination of striking labels and bizarre wine names - another glass of Bionic Frog Syrah anyone?
