2021 Cayuse, En Chamberlin Syrah, Walla Walla Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 97

Nuances of blood orange and sweet sage give way to seared meat, sawdust and dried black cherries as the seductively savory 2021 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard explodes from the glass. It's cool-toned and sleek with sinewy textures and masses of dark red and black fruits infused with licorice. Edgy tannins, a core of salty minerals and a hint of bull's blood embellish the long and structured finish. This serious rendition of En Chamberlin is transporting me to the Northern Rhone.
