Matt Reynvaan crafts some beautiful second wines for his The Unnamed Series.

Matt Reynvaan crafts some beautiful second wines for his The Unnamed Series.

The Unnamed Series

October 28, 2019

Hands down, some of the most electric wines being produced in Washington are coming from Reynvaan Family Vineyards. Matt Reynvaan trained under Christophe Baron and even spent time at famed Bordeaux house Chateau Smith Haut-Lafitte before starting at his family winery in 2007. Most of you who have come to enjoy the value of Result of A Crush wines by Matt Reynvaan will be excited to hear that these ‘second wines’ of Reynvaan have been recently rebranded as ‘The Unnamed Series.’

Each of these wines clocks in at $24.99 and are absolutely sensational values considering the complexity and terroir that the wines offer. I highly recommend that you track these exceptional wines down. Just in time for the holiday season, the 2017 The Unnamed Series ‘Christmas Cuvee’ Red Wine (WWB, 92) offers incredible texture and range considering its price. Just as good was the 2016 The Unnamed Series Syrah (WWB, 92) which has gorgeous aromatics, minerality and wonderful dark fruit flavors. Learn more about these beautiful new wines at https://theunnamedseries.vinespring.com/purchase Here are the beautiful new wines by The Unnamed Series.

2017 The Unnamed Series ‘Christmas Cuvee’ Red Wine- Th 2017 ‘Christmas Cuvee’ is another sensational release by Matt Reynvaan. As this slowly builds momentum in the glass the wine slowly unveils lovely wet stone character that mingles with the umami with dried herbal notes on this expressive nose. The palate has a plush texture and wonderfully soft mouthfeel that entices. A bright and lifted sense of minerality captivates with the underlying blood orange zest and red currant flavors that mingle with shades of damp stone. This is seriously good for the price. Drink 2019-2025- 92


2016 The Unnamed Series Syrah- The 2016 The Unnamed Series Syrah is a sensational new release that shows the wonderful warmth of the vintage. While vineyard sourcing is uncertain, the aromatics take me to their high elevation Foothills In The Sun Vineyard, with lovely thyme and sagebrush tones that mingle with suggestions of Hoisin sauce and wild blackberry. The palate has wonderful poise and a plush texture showing off ripe dark fruits and minerals — all leading to an exceedingly long and gratifying finish. Simply put, this wine is a steal at 25 dollars. Drink 2019-2025- 92


2017 The Unnamed Series Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc- Largely Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), with the remainder Cabernet Franc, this shows off ripe red ands dark fruits with a wonderful vibrancy on the palate. Silky tannins and a long finish complete this fantastic value bottling by Matt Reynvaan. Drink 2019-2025- 91
