Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards & Winery 2017 Syrah Winemaker's Reserve

Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards & Winery 2017 Syrah Winemaker's Reserve


Winemaker Stephen Reustle is serious about his Syrah, usually creating three distinct versions, and this one features three different Syrah/Shiraz clones blended with 5% Grenache from his Roseburg, Oregon estate. It presents aromas of ripe black fruit, sweet tobacco, smoke-cured meat and hints of lavender. On the palate, it's juicy with dark berries balanced beautifully by notes of baking spice laced chocolate and firm tannins that integrate skillfully to showcase both the bold fruit and savory character of Syrah.
