Int'l Wine Review
Reviewed January 2024The 2021 God Only Knows Grenache by Cayuse is aged for 10 months in all neutral oak French barrels. Another incredible God Only Knows, this time the 2021 vintage, that sports a lovely medium fluorescent ruby core with a light pink rim. Bountiful aromas of black cherries, red raspberries, dusty earth, violets and mountain sage spill from the glass. Silky tannins merge with a backbone of lemony acidity and an enticing mouthfeel. It’s another example of why Grenache from Washington State is making news across the country. 538 cases made. Highly recommended. (JY)

James Suckling
Gorgeous, funky, effusive aromas lead to meaty, roasted black fruit, wood smoke and black pepper. Fermented with stems included, this wine is alive with woodsy, savory elements that complement the deep blackberry and dried black cherry fruit. From biodynamically grown grapes. (JG)

A total showstopper, the 2021 God Only Knows entices with a gorgeous blend of wild herbs, lavender, rose petals, cedar dust and dried strawberries. This is a total pleasure on the palate, silken and round with juicy acidity and crisp wild berry fruits complemented by violet inner florals. Hints of orange peel mix with tart blackberry over a bed of fine tannins as this finishes dramatically long and with a resonance of hard red candies that lingers on—wow. It's amazing that this is from a warmer vintage because the 2021 comes across as remarkably fresh and nearly cool-climate in feel. This is a Pinot lover's Grenache. (EG)

Wine Enthusiast
Boisterous acidity and restrained alcohol propel this Grenache-driven blend to “yowza” levels. A ripe blackberry aroma mixes it up with bursts of crushed walnuts and a vanilla soy candle. This perfume is followed by flavors like briary blackberries, candied rose petals, Assam tea and aged balsamic. *Editors' Choice* (MA)
