99 points International Wine Report: "The 2022 Cayuse En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah is a riveting expression of this storied site, crafted from vines first planted in 2000 and aged for 18 months in neutral puncheons. Intensely aromatic, it bursts with layers of black pepper, smoked brisket, wild thyme, and crushed violets, all wrapped around a deep core of blackberry preserves and dark plums. The palate is both opulent and finessed, revealing velvety tannins that frame flavors of roasted black fruits, balsamic reduction, and savory tapenade. A strong mineral backbone underscores its depth, while bright acidity carries the wine into an expansive, earth-driven finish. Drink this one now with a hard decant or over the next 15 years. Almost 500 cases produced. Highly recommended and editor’s choice. Drink 2025-2035 (Feb 2025)"
97 points Wine Spectator: "Rich and detailed, with compelling flavors of raspberry and huckleberry laced with tapenade, lavender, river stone and black olive as this builds a plush texture on the savory finish. Drink now through 2035. 449 cases made. (8/31/25)"
96 points Claire Nesbitt (JamesSuckling.com): "This has an earthy, savory profile with aromas of smoked bacon, plum skins, charcoal, black peppercorns and stones. Full-bodied and wide on the palate with massive, compact tannins. It’s refined and textured yet finishes tight and firm, lingering with notes of iodine and seashells. From biodynamically grown grapes. Better from 2028. (3/7/25)"
96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard has tension and dark fruit character for days, evoking meaty butcher shop in its layers of sanguine bacon fat and petrichor. Spicy and brooding, its tannins are broad-shouldered and long, gripping the palate through the peppery finish. Cellar through 2042. (Jul 2025)"
