Cayuse 2009 En Cerise Vineyard Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (OR))

Country: US / En Cerise Vineyard
Variety: Syrah Oregon
Winery: Cayuse / Walla Walla Valley (OR)

Flavors of blackberry, black cherry and a streak of cola ignite the palate, with a layer of pure mineral underneath. At first a bit delicate, this never pauses, introducing umami and cinnamon highlights on the lingering finish. It’s fresh and elegant, with a more gentle fade than some of the more potent Syrahs from Cayuse.
