Cayuse Vineyards Syrah En Cerise Vineyard Walla Walla Valley 2018

Reviews

97+ Jeb Dunnuck -

Lots of red and blue fruits, sappy herbs, beef blood, iron, sweet earth, and violet notes all emerge from the 2018 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard, and it's another incredibly pure, seamless wine from Baron that does everything right. Medium to full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with silky tannins on the palate, it shows the purity and freshness of the vintage as well as a Jamet-like complexity and meatiness. It's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 20 years in cold cellars.

The 2018 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard is another stunning bottling by Cayuse Vineyards and vigneron Christophe Baron. On the stunning nose, black currants, cured meats, allspice and mandarin orange rind all meld in the glass. The pure dark fruits are accompanied by iodine, umami, white pepper and green olive tapenade and beautiful freshness. The vibrant sense of minerality really shines through.

Displaying a deep ruby core and magenta rim, the 2018 Syrah en Cerise bursts with elements of smoked meats, black pepper, umami, dried tobacco and smoked pipe before elements of black raspberry, dusty cherry and spiced plum compote sway out of the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate shows impeccable balance with a fine mineral tension followed by elements of smoked herbs, dusty lavender and hints of summer sausage across the mid-palate with youthful tannins. The wine concludes with a wonderfully expressive finish with elements of roasted herbs, cold firepit and cured meats. The wine should continue to drink well for the next decade. The wine rested for 19 months in approximately 15% new French oak. Just under 4,800 bottles were made.
