The irrepressible Christophe Baron staged a splendid tasting this year that included his Cayuse line-up along with the wines he and "assistant vigneronne" Elizabeth Bourcier make under the No Girls, Horsepower and La Rata labels. It was a blazing hot summer day in Walla Walla but I can't recall the last time I found such exciting aromatics in a set of new Washington wines. Interestingly, Baron compares 2012 to the very warm 2009 vintage. "Both were classic growing seasons," he explained, "but physiological ripeness came at lower sugar levels in 2012 than in 2009." Indeed, I suspect that most readers will be surprised to hear that the majority of the Cayuse 2012s weigh in at under 14% alcohol. "The first fruit came in at the equinox, with the Tempranillo following on September 24," said Baron, who reminded me that the Cayuse wines have been 100% from estate fruit since 2000.
