Cayuse En Cerise Syrah 2006

Professional Ratings

• 97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2006 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard is a glass-coating opaque purple color. On the nose liquid asphalt, bacon fat, olives, and garrigue-like aromas offer much to contemplate. Intense, balanced, and totally succulent, it boasts a finish that just won’t quit. It delivers impressive immediate gratification but those who can wait for 5-7 years will be well rewarded.
• 96 Wine Enthusiast
  This is immense and rich, packed with a huge range of cassis, red fruits, herbs, bark, earth, mint and baking spices. The cross of flavors is remarkable. These wines change dramatically in the glass and in the bottle; they have so much packed-in flavor that it’s almost impossible to nail them down. This is loaded with deep berry fruits, ancient balsamic, cured meat, smoke and chocolate-covered raisins.
• 95 Wine Spectator
  Polished and harmonious, deftly playing its effusive ripe cherry and currant fruit against wisps of mineral, black olive and tobacco as the finish expands and persists expressively.
