2017 REYNVAAN IN THE HILLS SYRAH WALLA WALLA

(94 Points) Incorporating a whopping 10% Viognier, the 2017 In The Hills comes from the Foothills in the Sun Vineyard (the same vineyard as the Foothills Reserve) and was aged 11 months in 25% new oak. It offers a more rounded, opulent, softer style (no doubt due to the high Viognier) as well as lots of meaty dark fruits, toasted spice, leather, and chocolate aromas and flavors. It's another beautiful, fleshy, classy Syrah to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years, if not longer. (Drink between 2020-2029) Jeb Dunnuck
