A cool vintage in Washington State, the 2002 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard was harvested on October 10 and saw roughly 25% new French barriques during its élevage. Full-bodied, savory, layered and seamless, it has lots of iodine, olive brine, dried herbs and sweet black raspberry fruit to go with good overall freshness, plenty of texture and great finish. It will continue to drink nicely through 2022.

The 2002 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard (co-fermented with 3% Viognier) is black fruit-scented, medium-bodied, and rustic. Its spicy blackberry, black raspberry, and cassis flavors lead to a tight, tannic finish. Drink it over the next 2 years. Tel. (509) 301-6972; www.cayusevineyards.com

Even more herbal, and more tart, than the winery’s En Cerise bottling. Offers peppery aromas and sour red fruit and chocolate flavors, and is streaked with green through and through. Mouthfeel is creamy, but the finish is tart. ——W.E.(9/1/2005)—— 85
