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.

New Release
A ferociously fun Napa Valley blend with depth, balance and big flavor. Aromas of red currant, fresh strawberries, black plum, vanilla, and notes of cocoa on the nose. The palate is bursting with fruit ranging from cherries, mixed berry compote, toasted hazelnut and more. This wine has great texture that ultimately finishes with round, silky smooth tannins.
