Reynvaan The Contender 2018

Exotic plums and berry fruits as well as ground pepper, violets, and sous bois nuances define the 2018 Syrah The Contender, which is 98% Syrah and 2% Marsanne, all aged 18 months in 25% new oak. Medium to full-bodied and just pure silk on the palate, it has fine, polished tannins, wonderful purity, and a great, great finish. It has the classic Rocks high pH and sexy texture, but don’t let that fool you, it will age gracefully.
