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.

Walla Walla Valley | 1 | 95+ (VN) | HK$4,010.00 | |||||
Vinous (95+)(13.4% alcohol): Explosive aromas and flavors of raspberry, smoked meat, woodsmoke, bacon fat, truffle and black olive, along with notes of minerals and bloody steak. Densely packed but juicy and almost magically light on its feet, with strong smoky minerality contributing to the impression of inner-mouth tension. Like a great Cote-Rotie in its sappiness and spicy lift. Finishes with a whiplash of flavor and subtle building length. Christophe Baron used just 10% new to age this wine as well as the En Cerise and Cailloux, letting his extraordinary sites speak for themselves. |
