Overview

The Christmas Cuvée began as a heartfelt gift from the Reynvaan siblings to their mom, Gale. An annual tradition since 2013, the 2022 vintage is a pure expression of Syrah, drawn from “In the Rocks” and “Foothills in the Sun” vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley. Handpicked and hand sorted, the fruit is grown in volcanic, alluvial, and deep silty loam soils that lend complexity and character. Aged for 18 months in neutral French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered, this cuvée has an energizing freshness that excites the palate. Notes of ripe, red fruits, warm stones, searing meats, and mouthwatering salinity. There’s concentration and depth of character—a wine of texture and balance, echoing the joy and generosity of the season (and the mother) it was made to celebrate.
