A Grenache-dominant field blend from Cayuse's famed Washington vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley, made using 100% whole-cluster fermentation, lending a rustic charm to a fruit-driven varietal. Punchy, yet elegant, this wine melds together dark cherries, fresh strawberry, raspberry compote, violets, permeated by rosemary, thyme, and basil undercurrents. Deliciously ripe and ready to drink.

There are 533 cases of the 2014 Grenache God Only Knows Armada Vineyard, and as always, it's an unknown blend that's dominated by Grenache (reportedly from vine cuttings from Rayas). It's fermented with just about 100% whole clusters in concrete and aged mostly in neutral puncheons and foudre, with one concrete egg. A bigger, richer wine than the No Girls cuvee, this beauty packs a punch in its black cherry, reduced strawberry, herbes de Provence and crushed violet aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness, a supple, elegant style and fine tannin, this singular beauty will benefit from a year or three of cellaring and keep for 10-15 years.
