Cayuse, Armada Syrah Size:3x750ml The 2016 Vouvray Le Mont

The 2016 Vouvray Le Mont Demi-Sec is a very good example

This too is exuberantly fresh though it’s also more deeply pitched with its array of dark currant

Cherry and licorice notes play off the dense

Cayuse, Armada Syrah Size:3x750ml The 2016 Vouvray Le MontThis 2. 8ha vineyard was planted in 2001, with vines grafted on rootstock because Baron expected phylloxera to arrive eventually, which happened in 2019. The wine is all Syrah, with aromas that veer towards the meaty, smoky, bacon fat spectrum of the variety. Right now the flavours are tightly wound, deep and intense, but also pure and juicy, with a smooth, almost syrupy, satiny texture.
