smoke and licorice notes

the Alpine is positively stellar today

This won’t win any awards for elegance but there is plenty of underlying material and this firm effort should age effortlessly

weight and power if less minerality to the medium weight plus flavors that possess a really lovely mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the impressively long finish

Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and sporting a deep garnet-purple color

Cayuse, Grenache God Only Knows Vintage:2017 smoke and licorice notesThe Grenache part of this 2. 8ha vineyard is planted with cuttings from Chteau Rayas, so the blend includes some other 'God only knows' unknown white grapes. Lush and layered, it has a texture thats positively sexy yet elegant at the same time. What stands out is the incredibly complex bouquet of olives, truffles, minerals, rose petals and much more.
