Wine Review: This opaque and midnight blue colored wine opens with a mild boysenberry and black currant bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic and juicy. The flavor profile is a mineral infused black currant and black licorice blend with notes of oak and black pepper. The finish is dry and its moderate dusty tannins are well managed and nicely prolonged. This wine would pair well with a New York Strip steak. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The captivating white flowers, vibrant blueberries, and orange zest mingle on the nose take anyone into a state of sensory overload. With its seductive, silky texture, this medium to full bodied Syrah entices the palate with flavors of sun-kissed blueberries, strawberry yogurt and homemade huckle-berry jam. A Classic Reininger Syrah. Impeccably balanced.
