Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, En Chamberlin Vineyard, Impulsivo Tempranillo 2014
98 points Wine Advocate
Road tar, shiitake mushroom, black cherry, crushed flowers and graphite all emerge from the 2014 Impulsivo, which is a full-bodied, ethereally textured, structured Tempranillo that has insane purity and length. While it started out downright earthy and umami, it gained more and more fruit as it sat in the glass, has a beautiful mid-palate and a finish that won’t quit. Nevertheless, this firm, tannic wine needs to be forgotten for at least 4-5 years. (JD) 98+ (6/2017)
95 points Int'l Wine Review
The 2014 'Impulsivo' Tempranillo was aged in 50% new French puncheons for 8 months prior to bottling. The result is a stunning wine which opens to inviting aromatics of ripe dark fruits, smoke, iodine, spicebox, anise, sagebrush and black olive tapenade all coming together and soaring from the glass. Seductive and intense, the palate is plush, mineral driven and moderately tannic, framed by flavors of black cherries, umami, black tea and boysenberry cobbler. The finish is exceedingly long and chewy leaving behind a lasting impression. This is already quite appealing and should continue to evolve beautifully over the course of the next decade.
