The 2022 Result of A Crush Rose was one of the finest Rose wines of the Pacific Northwest that I tasted this year.

Result of A Crush

November 7, 2023

Today we share some of the great value wines of the Walla Walla Valley. What was one of the outstanding 2022 Rose wines of the Pacific Northwest this past year, Result of A Crush is a project that was started more than a decade back to create a second tier of Reynvaan wines. Amanda Reynvaan and Angela Reynvaan Garratt, sisters of consulting winemaker Matt Reynvaan, sought to create wines that are more readily available and affordable than the Reynvaan wines. Most of these wines are in the 20-30 dollar range. While they might be perceived as ‘Baby Reynvaan’ wines, each bottling is a serious, stand alone wine.

Tasting with Matt Reynvaan, I was so impressed with the latest set of wines that come from the warm 2021 vintage. Don’t miss out on the 2021 Result of A Crush ‘Christmas Cuvee’ Red Wine (OB, 93) which is a wine to buy by the case. At 28 bucks, this is one of the finest values you will find in Pacific Northwest wine. Learn more about Result of A Crush at http://resultofacrush.com and here are my reviews of the great new wines by Result of A Crush.

2021 Result of A Crush ‘The Unnamed Series’ Syrah- The 2021 ‘The Unnamed Series’ Syrah  shows beautiful smoky and savory tones on the nose. The palate is soft and refined with serious texture and underlying verve. Wet stone, hoisin sauce and blackberry cordial flavors all combine on the palate. Drink 2023-2030- 92

2021 Result of A Crush ‘Christmas Cuvee’ Syrah- The 2021 ‘Christmas Cuvee’ has a touch of Viognier and Marsanne blended in. This comes off super high-toned with citrus zest and orange blossom notes that combine with salted charcuterie and shades of Kalamata olive. The wine comes off super plush with a seamless texture and great sense of weight. A great core of black fruits greets you, as this is already beautifully evolved stuff that is drinking so well right now. Drink 2023-2030- 93

2021 Result of A Crush ‘Reserve’ Syrah- The 2021 Result of A Crush ‘Reserve’ Syrah is essentially from several lots that did not make it into the Reynvaan wines. The palate shows beautiful finesse with good concentration. Oyster sauce, black olives and smoked brisket tones combine with exotic spices and roasted dates on the palate. Drink 2023-2033- 93
