2019 Cayuse The Lovers | Walla Walla Valley Washington 750ml

...its deeper ruby/plum hue gives way to a plump, juicy, more forward wine offering lots of red and black currant fruits, notes of tobacco leaf, sweet earth, and graphite, medium to full body, and a rounded, textured, already delicious style on the palate. There's no harm in opening bottles today, yet it has 15-20 years of longevity. | 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com

...Ripe dark currants and red cherry compote combine with salted Kalamata olive and Provencal herbal notes that all dazzle in the glass... this delivers a gorgeous range of red and dark fruits with pipe tobacco, menthol and suggestions of wet stone and nori, displaying no rough edges. Enjoy this outstanding bottling over the next 10+ years. Drink 2022-2032. | 95 points, Owen Bargreen for owenbargreen.com
