2006 North America

Another 2006 that flirts with perfection, the 2006 Syrah Armada Vineyard doesn’t put a foot wrong and shows incredible notes of dried herbs, beef blood, marine-like saltiness, game and loads of sweet fruit. A wine that starts out reserved and elegant, yet continues to build in depth and richness with time in the glass, it’s full-bodied, layered, seamless and concentrated, with a blockbuster finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s ready to go now with a quick decant, but has another decade or more of life in the cellar.

The Cailloux Vineyard Syrah is Cayuse's flagship wine with a production of over 700 cases and was the first vineyard planted by Christophe in 1997. Another stunning effort in 2006 with classic blueberry, blackberry and spiced notes to the nose. Great expanse, that will develop gamey hints and soften with time. The palate offers waves of black fruit with sweet tannins and real energy and freshness. This hedonistic effort will need a few years in bottle and drink for a decade. Stunning.
