Cayuse God Only Knows Grenache 2008

"Baron's 2008 Grenache Armada Vineyard God Only Knows displays delectable scents and luscious palate presence of lightly-cooked strawberry and plum laced with nut oils and shadowed by plum and herb distillates. Seamlessly polished, almost velvety and glycerol-rich as well as sweetly ripe, this, nonetheless, projects a torrent of primary fruit juiciness along with levity and energy. Saliva-inducing salinity along with piquant fruit pit, and iodine accents add riveting counterpoint to a finish of prodigious length that manages to simultaneously sooth and stimulate."

The Wine Advocate

"Effusively fruity, bursting with ripe scents and flavors of berries and cherries. There is an interesting underlayer of earthy peat moss, just as an accent. The concentration is exceptional, dense and layered and constantly reinventing itself as it rolls through a spicy, herbal finish."

Wine Enthusiast

"Medium red. Exotic aromas of red fruits and spices. Supersweet and rich, with powerful red fruit flavors. Silky and seamless wine, with dense, deep strawberry and pepper flavors showing a bit less nuance than the outstanding syrah made from the same vineyard. Finishes fat and long, with smooth tannins and a gamey nuance."
