Community Tasting Notes (8) Avg Score: 92.8 points

  • Drank two of these within the last few weeks with similar notes.
    In general, this is less "elegant" than Reynvaan wines of the same year. More power, tannins and stronger olive notes.

    V - Clear, medium/deep garnet with hints of purple. Medium meniscus and high viscosity.
    N - Olive, slate, hint of smoked meats. Black raspberry, blackberry and black currant. Nose Less prominent than his other wines.
    P - Fruit begins, components similar to Nose with addition of a bit of bramble and tobacco.
    S - Dry, full bodied, medium acid, 14+, Fine/Medium+ tannins. Long finish but overall less complex than the normal Reynvaan.

  • P&P; a super savory, mineral-driven Syrah, showing Rocks Funk, woodsmoke and dark berry fruit toward the back, with a zip of mineral and acid. Drink now - 2034.

  • Recently purchased via FP who received them directly from Matt R. Uncorked it 3 hours before drinking. Great aromas that are hard for me to place, but very appealing. On the palate, it comes across with a medium to lighter body, lower tannic structure, touch of savory and dark fruits, and plenty of acid, but not overdone. Based on the acid, color, cherry flavor suggestion, I think it presents as majority Grenache, so I find it amazing it’s labeled a Syrah. Guessing minimal extraction efforts in making this.

    I’m not very familiar with No. Rhône’s but I’m guessing this aligns with that style or a “cool climate “Syrah”. There is a small amount of the Rocks feel across the mid-palate and smell. These easily thrive to 2030, if not 2034 as RPERRO noted. An interesting wine and nicely atypical to the many WA Syrahs I’ve tasted. Good to see Matt experimenting with a “new” way to make WA Syrah! Ok QPR at the FP Redacted $40 price.

  • Dark inky purple. Fragrant nose of dark fruits, floral, minerals. Black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, savory with soft mouthfeel. No predominant Rocks Funks as is typical from Walla Walla Rocks District and Reynvaan. Terrific wine.
