Note di degustazione
Good deep ruby-red. Explosive, musky aromas of black raspberry and bacon fat. Lush, suave and sweet, with deep flavors of currant and woodsmoke. ("This cuvee has gained in weight in recent vintages," notes Baron.) Finishes with very fine-grained tannins and lovely subtle reverberating sweetness. This rather seductive wine actually began with good minerally restraint, then expanded impressively with extended aeration to show a penetrating and very fresh raspberry fruitiness. Calls for at least a couple years of patience.

The 2004 Syrah “En Cerise Vineyard’s multidimensional perfume of pain grille, plums, blueberry, spice box, and leather leaps from the glass. This is followed by a wine with remarkable depth and concentration, a muscular, broad-shouldered wine with huge fruit encapsulated in a velvet jewel-box of a personality. With a finish lasting well over a minute, this powerful yet elegant wine should drink well through 2045. If that is not enough, I tasted a barrel sample of a 2005 Grenache which rivals the best grown in the USA. Could it be that before long Manfred Krankl of SQN will be known as the Christophe Baron of the Central Coast? Tel. (509) 526-0686; www.cayuse.com
