"Always the most exotic and perfumed of Christopheâs wines, the 2009 Cayuse Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard doesnât disappoint. Utterly profound on the nose, with loads sweet cherry, raspberry, and cassis styled fruit thatâs balanced by notions of lavender, exotic spice, roasted meats, graphite, and mineral, this hits the palate with a seamless, energetic mouth feel, brilliant mid-palate depth, and a classically styled, focused and mineral-drenched finish. While spectacular now (decant), it should ideally be given 2-3 years in the cellar, at which point it should evolve gracefully for two decades."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
