2016 Reynvaan Syrah Stonessence Walla Walla Washington

JD98 The 2016 Syrah Estate Stonessence (100% Syrah) is similarly purple-colored and has a gamier, more exotic profile. Plums, blackberries, blueberries, cured meats, ground pepper, and iron notes all flow to a powerful, medium to full-bodied Syrah that has a singular, layered character. It shows the more elegant, seamless style of the vintage and is a beautiful, beautiful wine. Bravo!
Estate Notes: With power and finesse, the Stonessence weaves around cured meats, campfire smoke, black olives, black fruits and ponzu sauce. It’s depth and profound richness is structured by fine ripe tannins. Finishes long and focused, and with an expressive mineral flourish. 100% Syrah aged 18 months in French oak, 25% new
