CRITIC REVIEWS

A gorgeous, serious barrel sample, the 2010 Cayuse Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard was impressive on all accounts, showing superb purity and depth to the aromas, medium to full body, a fantastic, seamless texture, and age-worthy, burly structure that’s buffered by awesome fruit. As with this estate’s other ‘10s, there’s vibrant, energetic feel to the wine that is truly something.

A 100% Syrah and always the most exotic and wild of the lineup, the 2010 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard has the Cayuse peat moss, iodine, underbrush, olive brine and gamey qualities on full display. Blossoming in the glass and showing a core of sweet fruit, it has a rich, substantial feel on the palate with a concentrated, full-bodied mouthfeel, brilliant mid-palate depth and a focused, detailed finish that carries ample finely polished tannin. Very gamey and bloody on the palate, this singular beauty will be better in another year or three and thrill for 15 years or more. Drink now-2025.
