The tasting note for 2016 Cayuse The Lovers Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah Walla Walla Valley AVA is from Robert Parker and the score is 93+ - The 2016 The Lovers is a Cabernet Sauvignon blend with 15% Syrah added. The wine has a dense core of red and purple flowers, dusty cherries and currants and savory aromas on the nose. The wine is focused on the palate, turning just slightly tart with black peppercorn and green peppers. The finish shows precision and rich depth that is approachable now and will be for the next decade, thanks to the structured tannins. Only 161 cases were made.
