The wines made from Cayuse fruit begin with the 2007 The Boy, a blend of 90% Grenache (from Cayuse) and 10% Syrah co-fermented. It sends up a sexy aromatic array of wild berry aromas, earth notes, herbs, incense, lavender, black cherry, and plum. On the palate it is full-bodied, savory, and layered, with a sense of elegance. It is in need of a bit more depth and...”more vine age”, according to Charles.

Delicious stuff, this is bold in flavor but light in texture. Plum, pomegranate and black olive character at the core drives the profile, which floats pepper and spice notes on the long finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2014.
