2009 Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard Syrah – 96-Point Biodynamic Red Wine from Walla Walla Valley

Walla Walla’s Earth-First Masterpiece

Walla Walla Valley, Washington 🇺🇸 | 100% Syrah | 96 pts Wine Spectator | Smoke. Stone. Syrah Perfection.

If terroir could scream in French, Cailloux 2009 would be its anthem. Made by cult legend Christophe Baron, this Syrah is Cayuse’s OG — the vineyard that started it all. Biodynamic, earthy, and effortlessly polished, it’s Walla Walla’s mic-drop moment in a glass.

This isn’t just wine. This is black olive, crushed rock, bacon fat glory, wrapped in violet and tar and finished with a signature Cayuse shake of pepper and smoke. Seamless, savory, and unforgettable.

🍷 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Deep, dense purple — like crushed velvet in a glass.

• Nose: Framboise, crushed flowers, bacon fat, iron, and a floral-saline kiss.

• Palate: Bold but smooth. Blackberry, cassis, tar, black olive — all in harmony.

• Finish: Polished and long as hell. Every sip spins like a record — juicy, savory, and magnetic.

🍽 Pair It With:

• Meat & Smoke: Lamb chops, BBQ ribs, charred sausages — lean into the savory.

• Aged Cheeses: Smoked cheddar, aged Gouda, or anything blue and unapologetic.

• Mushroom Mania: Truffle pasta, roasted portobello, wild mushroom risotto — match the earth.
