Based in the Walla Walla Valley in Washington state, Cayuse produce exceptionally high-quality, limited-production wines of great individuality. This limited release Syrah boasts notes of concentrated blackcurrant, smoked meat and wonderful soy character. A stellar vintage that scored very highly amongst the critics, showcasing beautiful purity of dark fruit on a silky palate with wonderfully ripe tannins.
96 Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Urgent, very pure aromas of pungent dark cherry, black olive and chicory lifted by a floral topnote. Wonderfully silky and velvety in the mouth, but also with terrific definition to its alluring flavors of framboise, dried herbs, briny olive and dried Indian spices. This round, utterly seamless, mouthfilling Syrah finishes with ripe, noble tannins, staining the palate with late notes of minerals, black olive and blood sausage. It will need a while to absorb some of its baby fat and may well go through a closed stage in bottle at some point. (15% new oak; from Coccinelle Vineyard; this wine gets one of the two new foudres Christophe Baron purchases every year, with the other one used for the Impulsivo)Stephen Tanzer1st December 2019

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?
