Practicing Biodynamic

Discover one of Washington State’s most iconic and collectible Syrahs: the 2023 Cayuse Cailloux Vineyard Syrah, crafted from the celebrated stones of Milton-Freewater in the Walla Walla Valley. With 98-point scores from both Jeb Dunnuck and Owen Bargreen, this wine represents the pinnacle of Cayuse’s biodynamic farming, minimal intervention approach, and singular cobblestone terroir.

The Cailloux Vineyard—Cayuse’s very first site planted in 1997—is legendary for producing Syrah with profound depth, savory complexity, and unmistakable “Stones District” character. The 2023 release is among the estate’s highest-rated in years, showcasing elegance, tension, and a beautifully textured finish.


🌟 Tasting Profile

A stunning, layered, and expressive Syrah offering:

  • Aromas of black olive tapenade, violets, smoked meat, cracked pepper, and blueberry compote
  • A palate filled with dark plum, blackberry, cured meat, earth, and dried herbs
  • Silky tannins, lifted acidity, and an incredibly long, mineral-driven finish
  • The classic Cayuse signature: savory, wild, and terroir-transmitting in every sip

This is a Syrah built for complexity, longevity, and collectors seeking benchmark Walla Walla wines.
