The 2022 Cayuse ‘En Chamberlin’ comes from vines that were first planted back in 2000.Stored in mainly neural oak puncheons, this offers creosote and beef drippings on the nose alongside dark florals, fresh sage and suggestions of Oyster sauce. The palate is elegant and refined, with great tension and a good sense of weight. Delicious and dense, with an ebullient core of dark fruits, this is already beautifully evolved stuff that has a decade or more ahead of it.
