November 30, 2023 - Dark, concentrated fruit of berries mixed with meat, black olives and earth. This is more refined than In the Rocks. Yummy.

June 23, 2023 - From our favorite Washington syrah vintage, silky, well balanced with just a touch of funk on the nose. Two hour decant seemed perfect.

January 8, 2023 - Outstanding, typical Reynvaan style, with earthy, Northern Rhone aromas and flavors, very pronounced. Ready to drink, but will easily last 5-10 years.

November 5, 2022 - The Nearly Annual Lyon 10 Year Retro Tasting #24, Wines of Washington (Lyon Again, Eugene, OR): Blind, I thought this was a Cayuse because of its funk. Black and red cherries, red plum, meat, earth and pepper.
Borderline QPR at $70 in 2015. One of 2 wines (out of 35) that were undrinkable on day 3. Don't wait TOO long...
