2022 Cayuse Vineyards Impulsivo

100 POINTS: From vines planted to 10 x 4 spacing in 2000, and biodynamically farmed, the 2022 Tempranillo Impulsivo makes one think of Ribera Del Duero in its intensity and richness of balsamic black berry and passionfruit. More new oak is applied (40% new French) for 18 months, which accentuates the inherent tension of the wine’s texture and length. The drinking window is long, now through 2042.
