Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Syrah Armada Vineyard comes from biodynamically farmed vines planted in 2001, and the wine was matured for 21 months in around 20% new French oak. The nose is bursting with layers of cassis, coffee beans, violet, spearmint and meaty undertones. The full-bodied palate is powerfully styled. Its minty, floral flavors are structured by high levels of powdery tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, latent finish. It hasn’t yet reached its peak. 514 cases were made.

Description
Cayuse Armada Syrah is a wine for collectors. Produced in the Walla Walla Valley by Cayuse Vineyards, this organic red wine is made from 100% Syrah. The vineyard from which this wine originates covers 2.5 hectares and was planted in 2001. Since its inception, it has been farmed organically, without the use of chemicals, and has been worked biodynamically since 2002.
Winemaking
This domaine is the first in the valley to apply Rudolph Steiner's principles, where soil, plants and animals coexist in a closed and balanced ecosystem. After careful manual selection of the grapes, the vinification process begins. The grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature and the wine is then aged for 21 months in French oak barrels (20% new). The result is a sincere wine, impregnated with minerality and with its own identity.
Taste
Cayuse Armada Syrah is a concentrated red wine. On the nose, it is complex and very expressive, with aromas of blackberry, black tea, black pepper, lilac and dried lavender. On the palate, it is seductive, elegant and medium-bodied with round tannins. It has saline notes and flavours of dried strawberries, chocolate and walnut. The finish is long and delicious.
