Vintage
The 2020 vintage proved to be a near-perfect vintage. There is always something to complain about in farming and 2020’s early season issue was a lack of rain. While the berries clusters were smaller and thus yielded a lighter than average crop load, the higher skin-to-juice ratio provides for a more complex and concentrated wine.

Winemaking
The Reynoso Family Vineyards 2020 Red Wine is 100% Estate Grown and consists of 64% Syrah, 35% Merlot and 1% Viognier. Fully hand-picked and sorted, the grapes were crushed and destemmed to tank for a 5-day cold soak. On-skin fermentation ranged from 20-33 days with punchdowns 3 times daily descending as fermentation progressed. The final blend was transferred to 50% new French oak barrels for a 20-month aging process before bottling in summer 2022.
