Columbia Valley

Cork

This is the original planting of Cayuse dating back to 1997, but it is also what would become the famed appellation known for its big Chateauneuf-like soils. It's the archetype wine from this part of the Walla Walla Valley, and even in the trying 2021 vintage, it carries itself as such. 95% Syrah is cofermented with 5% Viognier, and it offers meaty undertones, roasted nori, and black olive brine, all colliding with effusively lifted red fruit tones. The palate shows a concentration of black fruits; briny smoked sea salt tones, and umami-driven smoky soy. This wine has an herbaceous, savoury depth, contemplative and undeniably elegant.
