Discover Cayuse Vineyards’ 2022 Fiddleneck Vineyard Grenache—a masterclass in Washington’s renowned red wines—crafted from grapes grown in Walla Walla Valley’s stony soils since 2015. This Grenache captivates with its mineral-driven elegance and layered complexity, earning near-perfect scores from top critics like Owen Bargreen (100 points) and James Suckling (98 points).

The nose bursts with vibrant red fruit aromas—pomegranate seed and blood orange zest—balanced by hauntingly earthy notes of wet stone and iron-rich soil. Subtle hints of charred rosemary and smoked meat add depth, while a saline breeze lifts the profile into something truly transcendent. On the palate, silky tannins cradle macerated raspberries and wild strawberries, underscored by a peppery spice that lingers long after each sip.

Sourced from biodynamically farmed vines and fermented with 70% whole clusters, this wine marries power with finesse. Its seamless acidity and velvety texture make it both approachable now and primed for aging through 2032. Whether enjoyed young for its lively vibrancy or cellared to savor its evolving umami nuances, this Grenache redefines Washington’s Grenache potential.

Perfect for collectors seeking rare wines with aging potential or enthusiasts craving bold yet balanced reds, this bottle stands out among Columbia Valley offerings. Its unique blend of stony minerality and lush fruit purity positions it as a standout in premium Grenache categories—a testament to Cayuse’s mastery of terroir-driven winemaking.
