2018 Cayuse Vineyards Impulsivo Tempranillo Walla Walla Valley 1x750ml

Robert Parker 93

The 2018 Impulsivo displays a dark ruby core and a solid magenta rim and offers up aromas of leather, dusty violets, bone broth, blackberry reduction and dusty plums. Full-bodied for a Tempranillo, the palate offers flavors of spiced cherry compote, cedar and cigar box with pipe tobacco before fine-grained tannins coat the palate along with a soft oaky essence. The wine concludes with a long, lingering finish that offers a generous and persistent flavor of cinnamon-spiced plum compote and blackberry jus.The wine rested for19 months in French oak barrels, about 50% new. 4,992 bottles produced. Give it one more year in bottle before opening and drink through 2032. [26/06/2021]
