Cayuse Vineyards Wines : Key Points

Cayuse Vineyards was founded in 1997, when Cristophe Baron (originally from the Champagne region of France) came across a ploughed-up field covered with softball-sized stones and fell immediately in love with this terroir. Today the estate extends over 5 vineyards, covering around 60 hectares in total, certified for biodynamic farming since 2002.

The wines of Cayuse Vineyards reflect an Old World, particularly Rhone style, paired with the distinctive New World terroir of the Walla Walla Valley AVA in Washington State. It is the signature stony terroir of these vineyards, reminiscent of the "galets roulées" of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, that is responsible for the signature minerality that makes these wines so irresistable. The estate produces remarkably complex, concentrated and elegant Syrah and Grenache wines as well as blends, rich in dark fruit flavors, along with herbs and spice. These wines are naturally rare because of a limited production, Washington State legends to try at least once in a lifetime.
