Reynvaan Family Vineyards The Contender Syrah 2018
Exotic plums and berry fruits as well as ground pepper, violets, and sous bois nuances define the 2018 Syrah The Contender, which is 98% Syrah and 2% Marsanne, all aged 18 months in 25% new oak. Medium to full-bodied and just pure silk on the palate, it has fine, polished tannins, wonderful purity, and a great, great finish. It has the classic Rocks high pH and sexy texture, but don’t let that fool you, it will age gracefully.

94 Wine Advocate
The 2018 Syrah The Contender contains 2% Marsanne and was made using 25% whole clusters. Erupting with aromas of dark cherry, dusty plum and spiced blackberry reduction, elegant floral tones waft from the glass with seductive brown baking spices. Medium-bodied and with 13.3% alcohol, the palate is fresh, clean and delineated with immaculate precision and ripe, juicy notions with no hard edges. The wine somersaults to an elongated, evolving finish. The wine spent 18 months in 25% new barrels. It's devastatingly gorgeous and is worth the effort to seek out a bottle for yourself.
92 Wine Spectator
Refined and gracefully structured, with multilayered raspberry, grilled herb and crushed rock accents that take on richness on the polished finish.
91 Wine Enthusiast
Coming in at a low 13.3% abv, the wine has aromas offering restrained notes of soot, plum, olive, nori and scorched earth. The flavors are light and reserved. It's a pretty expression of Rocks District fruit.
