One of my new favorite WA State producers. They didn't make much of this wine at all and I felt priviledged that Matt gave me a bottle to take to this dinner. Rhone whites are usually tough for me as there just never seems to be enough acidity, plus I'm, not a huge fan of oak in my whites. This was a pleasant and balanced blend of marsanne and viognier. Not much oak, if any at all. Nice creaminess from the viognier along with some pear. Nice first effort. 90pts.

(Reynvaan Family Vineyards Queen’s Road White Walla Walla Valley) Light golden color. Golden delicious apples on the nose along with spice. A good bit of weight to the palate that has almost an apple juice feel without the sweetness. A backsplash of alcohol toward the finish. 65% Marsanne, 35% Viognier. 14.79% alcohol.
