Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, En Cerise Vineyard, Syrah 2005

97 points Wine Advocate The 2005 Syrah En Cerise features garrigue notes, mineral, meat, game, and blueberry. This brooding effort is dense, opulent, and powerful. (JM) (6/2008) 94 points Wine Spectator Refined, offering a gorgeous mouthful of raspberry, strawberry and tea leaf flavors that find a deft balance as they soar through the long, vivid finish. This is a Syrah that shows restraint without losing a whit of its fruit character, as the tannins submerge themselves in the finish. (HS)(6/2008)
