Reynvaan Syrah "The Unnamed" 09

Review:

LAST CALL

2009 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Supple, generous and distinctive for its black olive and mineral overtones to a core of ripe currant and blackberry, lingering on the expressive finish against polished tannins. Drink now through 2016. - H.S.

It's called unnamed, but enigmatic might be a better description. This mysterious and charismatic Syrah is not your typical Walla Wall big red (nor are any of the Reynvaan wines). Oil-cured olive, mixed herbs, smoked red meat, plum, a flash of raspberry, an undercurrent of black berry. Elegant, good acid, never heavy. - Marcus

Loaded with aromas of peach, tangerine, wild blackberry, smoke and hints of lavender and a trace of caramel. This elegant wine is created to be enjoyed in its youth but will evolve over the next 7-8 years. - the Winery
