Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Syrah Armada Vineyard bursts out of the glass with complex and expressive aromas of blackberry, black tea, savory and umami tones of crushed black pepper, grilled meat and dried lilac and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is elegant and seamless on the palate, unfolding beautifully with precision and intention, offering up instant gratification in youth. The wine unfolds its wings across the mid-palate and takes flight, leading to the elongated and continually evolving finish, which grows in complexity and amplitude in the mouth. The 2017 is more approachable in youth than the 2016 vintage of the same bottling. If you enjoy wines in their youth, this vintage is a no-brainer. Only 613 cases were produced.

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.
