Too early to open. There is potential but now the wine is too strong and not integrated. Strong pepper 🫑 flavor combined with slightly sweet fruit. Nose is excellent with strong pepper. Wait until 2030. I used a Coravin and did not have a chance to give it hours of air. — 7 months ago

Rose petal, red fruits, a hint of spearmint. Would pair amazingly well with spiced lamb or Moroccan food. An excellent wine and well priced @ $45/btl — 5 years ago

One of my all time favorites under $35 and still the only wine I buy by the case. The 2016 vintage sticks to the classic MCK and Washington Syrah notes but turn the black pepper level way up. Never tasted so much black pepper in a wine. Fantastic — 6 years ago

Very young and promising. Extraordinary and super focused nose of white flowers and game. Going to be a stunner in 5 years perhaps. — 7 years ago

Crazy funky with some lilacs and black fruit on the back end. Not a whole lot of olivey brineyness or meaty quality. Little acid punch on the finish. Checking in on these, putting the other 2 to bed for at least 5 years. — 8 years ago

Brick in colour, fruit was still strong and it has been awhile but this wine gave me a very strong sense of place. Maybe it was nostalgia but I would have known it was Walla Walla blind folded. — 8 months ago

In the words of my son, “Bruh!” Dark Cherry and currant, big yet structured, tannin and acidity is in that sweet spot. Paired with reverse seat steak, amazing! — 3 years ago

Lovely lovely wine. Definitely has softened a bit, lost a little bit of the bite at the finish but still a fantastic wine. Really good with food. — 5 years ago

Had the tempranillo a few months ago, this time it’s the grenache. It’s still wickedly young but putting out loads of cherry and watermelon juiciness and then immediately takes a turn into that rocks district funk. Always impressive how that shines through even when these wines are fresh. — 7 years ago

The 2011 ‘En Chamberlin’ Syrah by Cayuse is stunning at this age. Gorgeous dark fruits connect with wet rocks and charcuterie and Mandarin orange rind aromatics, which all come together in the glass. The silky texture borders ethereal as gorgeous flavors of black cherry cough syrup, wet rocks, umami, salted meats, black tea and blood orange flavors continue to impress. This remarkable Syrah is a sensational wine made by superstar vigneron Christophe Baron. — 7 years ago

That’s a Friday night well played. Glad I have a nugget more of Gramercy options to work through. — 8 years ago

Cranberry, pepper, and spice. Strongly flavored and full bodied New World style Syrah. Perfect for Persian lamb stew. A paradigm of the fruit forward style of Syrah. — 8 months ago

9.1

Dark ruby/Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Stinky nose, as expected, and dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, barnyard, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, tar, black tea and bitter herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a unique Syrah from Walla Walla Valley. Rich and extracted. Soft and elegant. Very much 'in your face' kind of wine.

This 7 year old is still young, and needs a few hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This Single Vineyard is nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. Not my usual style, but very tasty.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it always delivers.

Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Syrah with a touch of Viognier. Only 859 cases produced.

13.8% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120. — a year ago

Now THIS is a wine. Was totally unprepared for how good this was. A fragrant, powerful nose of dark fruit and barbecued meats (complete with smoke). The mid-palate moves beyond the savory introduction with complex notes of black coffee, dark chocolate and plum skins. The finish is balanced, peppery with loitering tannins. Hats off! — 5 years ago

Yum! So complex, multiple levels of dark dry fruit. Strong structure with pronounced acidity. Sensuous finish that lingered forever. — 7 years ago

This 2007 had years of life in it, but was delightful, complete palette. Glad we popped it, perfect paring with Sunday’s final meal. — 7 years ago

This Syrah is deep, rich, and luxurious with a wealth of fruit. Black olives, game, licorice and spice round out the full bodied palate. A solid wine but hard to justify at $60.
