The 2021 Flying Pig by Cayuse is a mélange of 59% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and aged for 18 months in approximately 30% new French oak. Another incredible Flying Pig from Cayuse with the Cabernet Franc dominance shining through. Earthy with shades of green peppercorn, wet-tilled earth, and cedary herbs, it pops out of the glass with notes of blackberries, mountain blueberries, cassis, dried herbs, and licorice root. Wonderfully balanced, the focus is on the crunchy tannins and lovely blue and black fruit finish with just a touch of ground pepper that flows over the back palate. Only a little over 200 cases were made. Highly recommended.
