2019 Cayuse, God Only Knows Grenache, Walla Walla Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 95

The 2019 Red Wine God Only Knows is composed primarily from Grenache and is refined for 21 months in neutral French demi-muids and foudre. There s an almost-herbal-tea-like quality to the nose, distinctly savory yet spicy, with dusty floral tones and hints of olive offset by a spritz of citrus. This washes across the palate with ease, supple yet pure in style, with a balanced inner sweetness contrasted by a salty flourish and juicy acidity that maintains lovely energy. Saline-minerals come forward through the finale, combined with black currants and white pepper, as a light tannic tug on the senses frames this red beautifully. [Eric Guido, 02/03/2023]
