Cayuse Vineyards En Cerise Syrah Walla Walla Valley 2022 Puramun " winemaker Ben CasteelThe 2022 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard is 100% varietal from ungrafted vines and is dark and exotic in tone. Licorice candy and violet lead to a sensual mouthfeel of refined tannin and well integrated oak, the wine aged 18 months in 15 20% new French barrels. Salty salinity comes up against a meaty char component of iron, green tea, peat moss, and complex tension. Theres a powerful purity to the whole experience, which finishes complete. 98 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
