45 min decant (some cloudy sediment). A irresistible dark ruby red color. On the nose: beautiful savory nose of smokey meat, slight Cayuse funk(luv it), wet stones, minerals, orange peel, dark cherries. Taste: a smooth, fresh, lite wine with little blackberry, pepper, earth, tobacco, and a espresso-herb-raspberry medium finish. No need to wait, drink em if you got em.....wish the taste matched that nose.

Youthful. Fantastic.
Started off with a fruity nose that developed a skunky or cat pee note that wasn’t negative.
The palate was dark fruits with a silky texture. After an hour, a spiciness emerged with some chalkiness and the wine became richer in profile. This wine is fruity but less so than some other Cayuse wines. Also features good minerality and smoked meat notes. Nice structure. This is very impressive. Probably just entering it’s drinking window. This was my only bottle but would love to have more of these to follow.
Perfect match with rack of lamb and made for a memorable meal
