Lot 207 Details
CAYUSE VINEYARDS GRENACHE ''GOD ONLY KNOWS'' ARMADA VINEYARD 2011 (1)

Walla Walla Valley, Washington.
u. 1.5 cm.

The 2011 Grenache God Only Knows is shockingly good in the vintage. Sporting a big, masculine profile, with notions of lite gunpowder, ground pepper, herbs and wild strawberry and blackberry fruit, it flows onto the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a full, rich mid-palate and a healthy dose of tannin that will require short-term cellaring to integrate. This knockout Grenache will be at its finest from 2016-2026. June 2014 WA 96

CAYUSE VINEYARDS GRENACHE ''GOD ONLY KNOWS'' ARMADA VINEYARD 2012 (1)

Walla Walla Valley, Washington.
u. 1.5 cm.

Structured and backward, the 2012 Grenache God Only Knows Armada Vineyard offers lots of framboise, black cherries, bouquet garni and spice to go with a full-bodied, seamless, elegant feel on the palate. It picks up more and more tannin with time in the glass, and needs 3-4 years of cellaring, but should keep for 15 years or more. June 2015 Drink: 2018-2027 WA 96
