The 2014 En Cerise Vineyard Syrah is yet another brilliant wine from Cayuse in this vintage. Inviting aromatics of blackberry pie, blood orange, meat, umami, black truffles, white pepper and barn floor are simply gorgeous, and constantly bring you back to the glass for more. The tension and definition is marvelous, as the wine showcases concentrated flavors of blackberry cobbler, black tea, sea salt, iron and Mandarin orange rind, which are highlighted by bright acidity. The plush texture glides effortlessly across the palate as it seamlessly leaves behind a long finish. While already magnificent, this gorgeous Syrah will cellar well for a decade or more.
