Cayuse God Only Knows 2020 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine produced from Grenache grapes from the Walla Walla Valley of Washington State, USA. Produced by the repescted biodynamic winery Cayuse Vineyards, this is widely regarded as one of the finest Grenache red wines in America. The 2020 was sourced from the Armada Vineyard in Walla Walla and matured in neutral oak for 21 months before bottling. "A perfumed blend of vivid black raspberry, lavender, sage and crushed rocks makes the 2020 God Only Knows impossible to ignore. This is pure elegance, supremely silky and refined, with subtle red and blue fruits that ride a core of tantalizing acidity as violet inner florals evolve toward the close. This finishes lifted and floral, with a subtle coating of sweet tannins that gently tug at the cheeks as confectionery spices slowly fade. While I would prefer a bit more length, that`s splitting hairs, as the 2020 God Only Knows is simply spellbinding." Vinous, 2022

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?
