A fabulous nose greets you with bacon fat, smoke, licorice, iodine and sea spray. The wine is rich and extracted, with berry, currant and plum under a significant amount of stem, herb, earth and bark. The tannins are still a little chalky and hinting at green, but the stuffing is there to age and smooth out considerably.

Co-fermented with Marsanne, this shows more forward fruit than Reynvaan’s In The Rocks Syrah. It’s dominated by fruit, spice and pepper, along with a hint of granite. The herbal side of the grape is here a bit constrained, and the wine has the structure—especially the minerality—to age for a considerable time. For young fruit (first leaf) it’s a triumph, and promises great things to come.

From the In The Rocks vineyard, this Rhône white is two thirds Marsanne and one third Viognier, whole cluster fermented in neutral barrels, with no fining or filtering. It’s richly textural, aromatic, scented and flavored with lemon verbena, peach, caramel and marzipan. Big and luscious in every way, this is a wine to enjoy while it’s in the bloom of youth.
