Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, Cailloux Vineyard Syrah 2008 Shiraz ranging from 4 to 23%97 points Jeb Dunnuck Another thrilling 08 that continues to shows brilliantly, the 2008 Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is elegant and perfumed, with classic Cayuse aromas of kirsch liqueur, rolled stones, meat juice, and smoked herb qualities flowing to a full bodied, rich, perfectly balanced wine. This vineyard always shows the most silky, elegant profile of any of Christophes wines, and this vintage is no exception. (6 2012) 97 points Wine Advocate
