Reininger Syrah 2007, Walla Walla Valey, Washington State, USA


 
Made with 100% Syrah with maturation in French oak (0% new oak), bottled in August 2009 with a low production of only 553 cases and alcohol coming in at 14.8%.
This wine opened up with attractive aromas of blackberry-blueberry fruit, raisins, white pepper, toasty and vanilla notes. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied with delicious forward fruit, slightly creamy, balanced acidity and velvet tannins. The finish is very long, fruit focused, rich and flavourful. Nicely made wine here with well handled French oak, very seductive, well balanced and juicy Syrah. Worth the spurge, strongly recommended. Score 92 points.
