Reynvaan Family Vineyards Stonessence Syrah 2018

This 2018 Reynvaan Family Vineyards ‘Stonessence’ Syrah is a rich and complex wine with a deep purple color. On the nose, it offers aromas of blackberry, plum, and violet, with hints of smoked meat and black pepper. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with flavors of dark fruit, espresso, and savory herbs. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of spice. This Syrah is a perfect match for grilled meats or hearty stews.

Critical Acclaim

98 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2018 Syrah Stonessence is another gem that flirts with perfection. Coming from the In the Rocks Vineyard, which is in the Rocks region of the Walla Walla Valley, it’s 100% Syrah that was 90% destemmed and brought up in neutral puncheons. Reminding me of a great vintage from Jamet (I originally wrote “like their Côte Brune”), it has ample bright berry fruits (framboise, blackberries) interwoven with layers of crushed violets, cracked peppercorns, gunpowder, and spring flowers. Incredibly floral, nuanced, and complex on the nose, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a tight, focused, yet somehow still broad and expansive texture, ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. Don’t miss it.

93 Wine Advocate

Reductive on the nose at the moment, the 2018 Syrah Stonessence gives up aromas of blackberry, roasted coffee bean, dried herbs and dusty dark fruit. Medium-bodied and with 13.2% alcohol, the palate offers a green herbal note, black plum and dark cherry elements followed by a growing spice sensation and gripping tannins. The wine finishes with an oaky essence and firm mineral grip. Give this some time in the cellar to come around, and drink over the next 15 years.

93 Wine Spectator

Floral violet and crushed rock aromas lead to elegantly layered raspberry and blueberry flavors that are accented by white pepper and glide toward polished tannins. 

92 Vinous

Musky black currants, olive and animal tones are pleasantly offset by exotic spice as the 2018 Stonessence blossoms in the glass. Silky and supple, with racy acidity and sweet inner herbal tones, this soothes with ripe blue floral laced fruits that give way to cocoa notes. The 2018 tapers off with sweet framing tannins and a staining of lingering concentration, as minty herbal tones slowly fade. Now with a few years of maturity the Stonessence, a varietal Syrah from the In The Rocks vineyard, is showing beautifully.
