The 2016 Reynvaan Family Vineyards 'Stonessence' Syrah is a simply gorgeous effort from this esteemed estate. The nose is rather intoxicating with barn floor, blood orange, red cherry cola, black tea, with a touch of green olive tapenade. The minerality and freshness is simply astounding as is the wonderful mouthfeel. This continues to impress as wet stones, wild blackberry, Umami, and satsuma orange flavors all come together in the glass. The mouth-watering acidity makes this stunner nearly impossible to put resist now. A remarkable wine which should cellar marvelously for a decade or more.
