Reynvaan Family Vineyards
The Contender Walla Walla Valley Estate Syrah
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This is just a stunning 2010 Syrah from Matt Reynvaan. This Syrah has 6% Marsanne blended in and is sourced from the Reynvaan's esteemed 'In The Rocks' Vineyard. This wine improves following more than one hour of air before enjoying. As this begins to unwind, it releases intense aromatics of red with smoked meats, Umami, crushed wet stone and dried herbs de Provence. The mid-palate shows off a seamless texture, with bright fruit flavors of pomegranate, wild blackberry cordial,orange rind, red cherry preserves and lighter suggestions of wet stone continue on through the exceedingly long finish. The elegance of this wine is already apparent, and I expect this wonderful Syrah will age gracefully into the next decade and beyond. Drink 2019-2033- 95

Wow Wow Wow. Been sitting on this for quite a while to see what maturity brought to it. Absolutely stunning. Rich, delicate, perfumed, bold, elegant. I’m in love.

Baked beans, maple smoked bacon, balsamic, blackberry compote. Big attack. Long, meaty finish.
