2012 Cayuse En Cerise Russian River Valley Furmint grapes were harvested at2012 97 Points. is a fabulously complex, seamless and elegant Syrah that exhibits notes of dried cherries, currants, dried herbs, violets and cured meats.

Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate 96 Points. Supple, ripe and expressive, layering currant, plum and cherry
