I love Cayuse syrahs but this is a Merlot based Bordeaux style with ~ 50% Merlot and 40% cab franc which is a little like saying I feared a medium bodied wine - was I wrong - so so wrong - killer juice - it was a full bodied baby - almost like drinking chocolate covered raspberries- what a remarkable thing to say for I had to dive through the funk - tons of Aromas of earth, peat, savory herbs and dark flowers lead to soft, sweet, smoky flavors. The texture and richness keep the interest high - almost too chewy - but after a while the wine soften and the firmness was like a waterbed of joy and sin mixed together - JD gives it 95 - will drink fantastic now with a mid decant time and last 2 decades but not sure what bottle rest will do and I think Cayuse makes to drink their wines early on - big smile of approval rating — 7 years ago

Kiwi, melon, and mushroom. Lightly sweet and softly tinted pink. Good with something a touch spicy. — 6 years ago
Relatively refreshing medium bodied drink with smell and taste of kiwi, apricot, peach, faint green apple and lime. Reminds me of white citrusy fruits. Good drink on hot day — 7 years ago
Light straw color. Very tight in the nose, even after being open for a couple of hours. Notes of light citrus, kiwi and white flowers. Not much else. High pitched and fruit abundant in the mouth. Light acidity and structure, almost to a flaw. Closed down? Needs more age? Will wait a few years more and check in on this one down the road. — 7 years ago
Pleasant aromas of grapefruit, kiwi, grass and apple. Flavors of grapefruit, tropical fruits and herbs. Light yellow color and great QPR! Solid wine for the affordable price. — 8 years ago
This is the 2016 and it is as good as the prior growths if not better, the reason I keep it stocked. Mild floral with excellent kiwi and citrus taste that just lingers in your mouth. Never been disappointed and this a step ahead. Buy for cocktails, chicken or fish, you won't go wrong!! — 9 years ago
This is not worth rating. It is exactly what it is. If you have it in front of you please drink up. California 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 — 9 years ago
Well integrated Cabernet Franc. Dark plum and blackberry fruit flavors. Big hints of green pepper with notes of earth and slate. A bit of a medicinal flavor on the finish. Low acid and can be served chilled. One of their last Long Island vintages. — 6 years ago
Where the name doesn’t apply this wine soars! Jazz, artisanal chocolate (Fijian ginger and kerikeri mandarin if you must know), and some friends wearing fantastic Pyjamas.... this wine fits right in. — 7 years ago

Trite to say, perhaps, but having just ate kiwi, this wine is surprisingly reminiscent. Wonderful stones, apples, grass, and toffee on the nose. I taste something astringent, almost kiwi-like, and slightly like petrol. Don't know what this was like in its youth but I like it now. There is a touch more butter than I'd like it the freshness of the nose carries through with nice acid and that astringency. Drink up! — 9 years ago

Pale straw color. Aromas of tropical fruits, key lime and limestone. Tart Sauvignon Blanc- very good for the prize. — 5 years ago
