Cayuse en Cerise Syrah Washington Walla Walla Valley 2018

95 RP   this is the 2017 review  we are selling 2018! 2017 Cayuse • Syrah en Cerise Rating 95 Drink Date 2021 - 2038 Reviewed by  Anthony Mueller Issue Date 13th Aug 2020 Source August 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate The 2017 Syrah en Cerise begins a little more broad-shouldered than the rest of the range, offering up aromas of black cherries, crushed rock, cured meats, smoked peppercorn and dusty lavender in the glass. Full-bodied, the wine is firm with youthful tannins, which make this bottling food-friendly. Open-knit and expressive, the long, winding finish evolves over a few moments before reverting to savory tones and an expression of dust-covered cherry skin. Only 393 cases were produced. I would suggest giving this one more year in the cellar, then consume over the next 13-18 years.
