Cayuse Camaspelo is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux-style red blend which includes a small proportion of Tempranillo along with Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This single-vineyard wine is produced by the cult Cayuse Vineyards winery in the Walla Walla Valley, Washington State. It is produced from Cayuse’s En Cerise vineyard, formerly a cherry orchard and now a biodynamically farmed vineyard producing one of the most sought-after single-vineyard reds from the west coast of the US.

Vinous
A mentholated freshness lifts savory woodland herbs and dried black cherries as the 2020 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard opens in the glass. Juicy and vividly fruit-focused, this cascades across the palate with a crystalline blend of wild berries and spice, gaining a more savory edge toward the close. The 2020 tapers off crunchy, leaving gritty tannins and a bump of residual acidity that adds freshness. The En Cerise will be an exciting wine to follow, showing an aging potential not seen in many 2020s.

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?
