Cayuse En Chamberlin Syrah 2019

99 Points. And my top choice of the range this year is the 2019 Syrah en Chamberlin Vineyard. It has an impressive array of aromas on the nose with nuances of a butcher shop, dusty dark-fruited essence, sausage, sawdust and elegant purple flowers. The wine is a masterclass in the expression of site, with a focused frame of black raspberry and blackberry fruit tones and spicy and meaty flavors that sway with a savory essence. Medium to full-bodied, the wine continues to grow in complexity, revealing layers as it somersaults to a long, winding and ever-evolving finish with lasting flavors of bacon brulé... I can’t put down my glass. —Anthony Mueller, The Wine Advocate

The vineyard is located in the ancient riverbed of the Walla Walla River on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley. The topsoil consists of 12-18” inches of a mix of silty loam and basalt cobblestones. Beneath is a layer of pure compacted cobblestones, hundreds of feet deep in places. 2000 saw the planting of 10 more stony acres. Grafted on phyloxera resistant rootstock, it's another first for our region. This vineyard produces The Widowmaker Cabernet-Sauvignon, Impulsivo Tempranillo and En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah.

Jeb Dunnuck: 99 Punkte

"Gorgeous Bing cherry and blueberry fruits as well as tobacco, peppery herbs, iron, and mushroom notes all emerge from the 2019 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard, another medium to full-bodied, incredibly seamless, flawlessly balanced Syrah in the lineup. I love the overall mix of savory, classic Rocks style with its beautiful core of fruit, and it has incredible tannins, beautiful balance, and a great, great finish. Flirting with perfection, this straight-up incredible Syrah will evolve nicely for 25 years or more."
