94+ points Anthony Mueller (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Viognier Cailloux Vineyard is expressive with a floral and spicy nose that sways with a fresh-fruited and mineral essence in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers a complex and balanced structure and a kiss of phenolic bitterness that sways with a fine mineral tension. The wine lingers with a long, spicy and slightly salty finish that is absolutely gorgeous. Only 147 cases were made. Drink: 2023-2038. (Oct 2022)"
94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "I consistently think the Viognier from Cayuse is one of the best in the New World, and the 2020 Viognier Cailloux Vineyard certainly doesn't change that opinion. Slightly riper than past vintages, it has a terrific perfume of tangerines, pineapple, spice, white flowers, and chalky minerality. This carries to a medium-bodied white with nicely integrated acidity, a pure, layered, balanced style, good structure (it almost feels tannic), and a great finish. It's another beautiful, Condrieu-like Viognier from this team to drink over the coming 3-5 years. Drink: 2022-2027. (7/9/22)"
93 points James Suckling: "A layered nose of wet stone, cardamom, pink grapefruit and a hint of fennel seed. Medium-bodied and very well balanced. Ground white pepper colors the floral and warm citrus on the palate. Wet stone comes through at the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. (8/9/22)"
