Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2021 Cayuse "Flying Pig" Walla Walla Valley Bordeaux Blend (96RP, 95JD, 94VN, 94WE, 93JS, 93WS). Wine Advocate: "Instantly impressive in the glass, the 2021 Flying Pig, made from a blend of 59% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, bursts from the glass with seductive notes of black cherry skin, dusty plums and notes of dried herbs and turned earth. Medium-bodied yet round and succulent, the palate explodes with energy and a beautiful balance between dark fruit skin and earth. A food-friendly, tannic grip holds through the long, lingering, ever-evolving finish that has me coming back for more. The wine rested a year and a half in 30% new and neutral French oak barrels. (AM)" (03/2024)

A Cabernet Franc-dominated blend that includes 31% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Flying Pig is medium ruby/purple-hued, with Bordeaux-like notes of black cherries, new leather, smoked herbs, lead pencil, and just a kiss of that Rocks umami character in the background. Medium to full-bodied, pure, balanced, and elegant on the palate, it has silky tannins and no hard edges. It too has an up-front, approachable style.
