Holy Mac Holerton!!! Something really... something... about this bottle. Normally, I'd say it's lacking in acid... Yet, Hey-Zeus! Everything is sooooo perfectly balanced... It all just ceases to matter. Dee-licious! Food wine? Yes! Great on its own? Yes! Confusing and intriguing? Yes! That's why Reynvaan reds are so terrific. Accessible AND esoteric.

#wine is not flawed. It's rich, ripe, milky, low-acid, funky, red fruit, dirty, black olive juice. It's hallmark warm vintage rocks

There is a bit if Viognier in the blend. 6% this wine has a good amount of forward fruit being a very warm year this wine has a that signature earthy nuance to the nose a good amount of fresh berry pie fruit and a bit of that savage animal note but more fruity smooth and silky texture very nuanced smoke and pepper still had nice freshness and a long finish. Finish 45+ most excellent

Horribly flawed. Unless you are into cabbage. Then it's awesome

Once you get past the reductive nose, the flavors get very interesting. Meaty, leathery flavors mixed with blueberry preserves and black olives. Interesting.
