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.

Bright and vibrant on the nose with aromas of black cherry, blue berries and fresh violet flowers. Deep and dark, offering luscious balanced fruit, black tea and cloves on a medium to full body. Tannins are smooth, while the mouthwatering acidity keeps things moving.

Aged in 50% new French oak, this wine opens up with aromas of red rose, black raspberry, and cherry cola notes that explode from the glass, with secondary components of sandalwood, cedary herb, and shaved chocolate. Black cherry flavors take center stage on the palate with notes of strawberry fruit, leather and sweet toasted baking spices on the finish.
95 Points
Cool-climate vineyard that keeps things light and layered in a bright and effusive nose. Blueberry, plum, huckleberries, black raspberries, spice, and toasted vanilla notes leap from the glass. Chewy and lush with impressive structure, finishing long with a dark fruit and a leathery note on the back palate.
