this pure syrah from reininger's estate vineyard has the focus and also the tightness that often characterize single-vineyard wines. there are dense flavors of cranberry and pomegranate, plenty of natural acid, along with polished tannins and a soothing layer of toasty oak, that helps smooth the rough edges and buff up the finish. hints of earth, leaf and tar add detail and interest all the way through a lingering finish.
