Of the 4 wines I have tasted all are excellent. Love Washington State Syrah!
2012 Reynvaan Family Vineyards Syrah In the Hills - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (12/16/2020)
Wonderful wine with black olives, minerals, funk, raspberries and pepper. Medium plus finish. Another winner from Walla Walla. (93 points)
2010 Reynvaan Family Vineyards Syrah In the Rocks - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (1/30/2020)
Mixed Offerings at Kenwood (Kenwood Restaurant, Minneapolis): This wine was unfortunately at the end of the tasting but the star. Finished a glass at home. Holly Cow!!! White pepper, stone, blueberries, cherry, dust, black olives and earth. Concentrated and long finish. This is a top 10 for sure for 2020! Cheaper than Cayuse and is as good! Wow!
Day 2: Not as good. Lost the intensity. This is a consume on day 1. (95 points)
2009 Reynvaan Family Vineyards Syrah In the Rocks - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (7/26/2019)
Washington State Tasting (John’s House Bloomington, MN): The Rocks, Rocks! Best place to grow the Syrah grape in the world for the money. Black olives, stone, white pepper, minerals, blueberries and sour cherries. Long and complex finish. Wine is off the charts. Drink now to 2028. (96 points)
2012 Reynvaan Family Vineyards Syrah Foothills Reserve - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley (6/14/2019)
Washington State Trip Day 1 (Seattle Brother’s House): Funk, olives, spice, roasted meats and blue currents. Super complex wine and long finish. First in the voting. (94 points)
