Cayuse
About Cayuse
The inimitable Cayuse is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after and in-demand producers from Walla Walla Valley founded and run by Champagne-native Christophe Baron. Christophe grew up among the vineyards and cellars of his family's centuries-old Champagne house, Baron Albert, and became the first Frenchman to establish an estate domaine in Washington State. The estate's single-vineyard Syrah releases are feverishly hunted down by collectors and are often compared with the finest wines from the Northern Rhône.

Incorporating a touch more Viognier than normal, the 2014 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier from the first vineyard planted in the stones region of Walla Walla. Sporting a surprisingly deep, inky color, it offers a heavenly bouquet of black olives, tobacco leaf, smoked meats, pepper, blackcurrant and black cherry notes. Deep, rich and ever changing in the glass, with incredible complexity and layers, this full-bodied masterpiece has building tannin, a stacked mid-palate and a great, great finish. It's pure perfection in Syrah, and the finest vintage of this cuvee ever made. As a bonus, it’s also the largest production Syrah they produce. Bravo!Inc. TAX€990.40
