Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards 2020 Syrah Winemaker's Reserve

Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards 2020 Syrah Winemaker's Reserve


Stephen Reustle has drawn international acclaim for his Syrah crafted from his Southern Oregon estate vineyards and this one, his Winemaker's Reserve designation, is another notch in the belt. If you love the smoky-savory style of Syrah, this one is for you. It's pure pleasure on the nose with enticing classic aromas of deep, dark fruit, smoky bacon fat, sweet tobacco, a dash of Allspice and a hint of lavender. On the palate, it's nicely rounded with flavors of juicy dark berries upfront, that are joined by lively notes of baking spice and chocolate on the mid-palate and a long, finely textured finish with lingering spice.
