"One of the more black and blue-fruited Syrahs in the lineup, the 2021 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard is deep ruby/plum-hued and offers a beautiful perfume of ground pepper, liquid violets, crushed stone, and bouquet garni. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, and ripe, polished tannins. It has a little bit of Cayuse funk, but this is a pure, focused, impressive Syrah that will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar."

"If you love black fruit, the En Chamberlin will steal your heart with its aroma of sweet Ponca blackberries. Following the Poncas are aromas of violets and honey-like red clover. There are more blackberries on the palate to accompany dark chocolate, nutmeg and black tea. Silky tannins and an elegant texture await." 

James Suckling, 96 Points (Previous Vintage) 

"Olives in brine, chiles, pink and green peppercorns and charred rosemary on the nose. Follows through to a meaty, smoky and seriously savory palate. Some iron and rust. Medium- to full-bodied with grip and tension. Brooding."
