The Contender Walla Walla Valley Estate Syrah

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and sweet spice, co-fermented with Viognier and Marsanne. On the palate ripe blackberry, plum and black cherry flavors with cacao, espresso and smoky oak. Vivid acidity, rich ripe fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and a bit of spice, very nice! Nice, had aging potential.

Just got back from a tasting last week at Reynvaan vineyard and opened this beauty this evening. What a fantastic viognier! So smooth, definitely hints of vanilla and overall a well balanced wine.
