Immediately shows a huge bouquet of olives, blueberries and white pepper, savoury, deep, complex, flavors of olive brine, celary, plum and raspberry paste, long lasting finish, the feel is smooth and calming, has personality and charm, great stuff, drinking well now, more years to go as well

Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Hugely different from all the other Cailloux tasted tonight, and also very much my favourite of them. Red-fruited, perfumed, and delicate. This is what I'd imagine the wine would taste like, when it was first described to me. There's none of the dirty, leathery funk here. This is all just pure, perfumed red fruit. Balanced, with the structure proportionate to the rest of the wine.

A silky Syrah of great length that blossomed after a nice long decant. Aggressive right after the cork pull; notes of iron and game, the usual stuff you get from The Rocks. Night 2, wow. Fruit emerges. Femininity takes the dance floor. Just delightful.

Decanted for over 5 hours, knocked the Cayuse "nasty"off it. This was really damn good. One of the better Caysue I have had in past couple of years. still has the funk, but less than past vinatges and real nice dark fruits.

Such a great wine. This is right where a good Syrah should be: not heavy, great flavor and brightness.
