Washington’s “Stunning” Syrahs
October 6, 2009
2004 Cayuse Syrah “En Chamberlin Vineyard”
“The 2004 Syrah “En Chamberlin Vineyard” is Cote-Rotie-like in its racy style. Beautifully perfumed with aromas of bacon, sausage, truffle, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur, this super-concentrated effort is impeccably structured for the long haul. It has enough succulence to provide pleasure now but it merits 8-10 years in the bottle to fully express itself.” - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

2005 Charles Smith Syrah “The Skull”
“The 2005 Syrah The Skull [from] Charles Smith, the mastermind of K Vintners, bottles his very best wines from the obscure Royal Slope under a separate label [Charles Smith Wines]. These are stunning Syrahs that must be tasted to be believed.” - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

2005 Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard
“The normal cuvee of 2005 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard has an alluring perfume of spice box, meat, game, and blueberry compote. Opulent yet elegant, this hedonistic effort will benefit from 4-6 years of cellaring and provide pleasure through 2020.” - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

Please note that the suggested bid price is based on what Vinfolio would charge for this wine if we were selling it in our online wine store. This is merely a recommended price on which to base your bid; it does not guarantee that your bid will be accepted. You are not required to submit this as your bid price, though we do recommend you read the “Tips on placing a successful bid” located on the right side of this email.

To place a bid on a wine, simply click on the wine name below.
  Tips on placing a successful bid:
  Research current retail and auction price data at www.wineprices.com to determine a fair and realistic bid price.
  Consider that the seller is charged a 15% to 20% commission, as well as shipping (if the wine is not in Vinfolio storage).
  Note the location from which you'd like your wine to be sourced. Wine in Vinfolio storage can usually be fulfilled more quickly upon bid acceptance.
  Make sure the quantity you are bidding on is actually available in the Marketplace.
  Remember, sellers are not obligated to sell their wine, but placing a fair and realistic bid will improve your chances of success.

Private sellers mark their wines for sale in VinCellar, Vinfolio's free online cellar management application, and can set an “asking price” and enable auto-accept of bids to ensure faster transactions (if wine is in Vinfolio storage).
No advance physical transfer of wine is required prior to marking wine for sale.
Wine sold from Vinfolio storage incurs a 15% seller's commission vs. 20% from other locations.
Buyers place bids on wines and there is no buyer's premium.
Vinfolio is the intermediary and all wines must pass our stringent inspection guidelines.
After a bid is accepted, fulfillment averages about a week for wines in Vinfolio storage and 3-4 weeks for wines stored offsite.
