ready-keep2016 Cayuse Vineyards, Cailloux Syrah, Walla Walla Valley, Washington

The 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is co-fermented with 4% Viognier in a Côte-Rôtie style that delivers a red and black-fruited nose with a floral grip and rustic rockiness. It is medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a soft smokiness and olive notes, resulting in an exquisite and structured wine with a focus on terroir. It is thoughtfully balanced on the long-lingering finish with a tannic edge and lifting acidity. This is really well-made wine with a production of only 829 cases. Drink 2019 - 2040. Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate (Dec 2019)
