Cayuse Vineyards 2022 Syrah: A Bold Expression of Washington’s Legendary Terroir

Crafted in Washington’s prestigious Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley regions, Cayuse Vineyards’ 2022 Syrah embodies the essence of premium Pacific Northwest winemaking. This limited-edition varietal combines intense fruit-forward flavors with nuanced complexity, earning acclaim from top critics for its exceptional quality and aging potential.

Renowned for its aromatic depth, this Syrah opens with inviting aromas of ripe black cherry and dark raspberry, complemented by hints of wildflowers and earthy shiitake mushrooms—a testament to Cayuse’s meticulous attention to vineyard sourcing. On the palate, layers of smoky cured ham and blackberry compote intertwine with a subtle peppery spice trail, delivering both power and elegance that linger long after each sip.

Accolades from experts like Jeb Dunnuck (98 points) highlight its “incredible purity” and “precision,” while James Suckling praises its “concentrated” earthy-meaty character. Produced using biodynamic practices rooted in sustainability, this wine reflects Cayuse’s dedication to preserving both flavor integrity and environmental stewardship.

With an alcohol content of 13.6% ABV and a projected 15+ year aging potential, it’s equally suited for immediate enjoyment or cellaring as an investment-grade collectible. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking rare Washington State Syrahs or fans of bold red blends with terroir-driven depth.
