Cayuse En Chamberlin is a single-vineyard Syrah made by Burgundy-trained winemaker Christophe Baron in the Walla Walla Valley of Washington State. From a stony site which also produces the estate`s Widowmaker and Impulsivo cuvées, this full-bodied Syrah offers gamey black and blue fruits, along with notes of tobacco, baked earth and tapenade. A producer of cult single-vineyard wines since 1996, Cayuse Vineyards was the first winery in the Walla Walla Valley to fully implement biodynamic farming in its vineyards.

Vinous
The 2020 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard is youthfully restrained, with a savory blend of cured meat, bacon fat, exotic spice and candied orange. This is savory, nearly sultry in style, with a salty flourish up front giving way to violet-laced black fruits and sour citrus. The 2020 finishes tannic and with a bitter tinge, leaving a chalky coating on the palate as tart blackberry notes fade. Today, the En Chamberlin holds its power in reserve. There is a very bright future here.Eric Guido1st August 2023

Biodynamic Wines from Walla Walla
Cayuse was founded in the late 1990s when Frenchman Chirstophe Baron established new plantings in the Pacific Northwest, specifically around Walla Walla in Oregon. A true visionary, Baron turned a rocky patch of farmland into some of America's most prized vineyards. Made with passion with a focus on using biodynamic principles, the wines are full, dense, characterful and food friendly.
The wines are only available directly from the winery via a mailing list that reached capacity many years ago. Quirkiness is part of Cayuse's identity - which is characterised by a combination of striking labels and bizarre wine names - another glass of Bionic Frog Syrah anyone?
