Reynvaan Family Vineyards

Reynvaan Family Vineyards is an estate situated in Walla Walla Valley in southeastern Washington state. Founded in 2004 by Mike and Gale Reynvaan, Reynvaan Family Vineyards focuses primarily on producing traditional Rhone Valley-style red and white wines made from Syrah and Viognier.

The estate is divided into two vineyard sites. The original 7-hectare (16-acre) In the Rocks vineyard lies on the rocky soils of an old river bed and is planted to Syrah, Viognier and Marsanne. The second vineyard, Foothills in the Sun, is situated at the base of the Blue Mountains at an altitude of 1600ft (488m). Generally, the soils are characterized by the presence of deep silty loam, mixed with smaller quantities of clay, iron and rocks. These soil types in combination with the vineyard's west- and southwest-facing hillsides, as well as its large diurnal temperature variations, provide the perfect grape growing conditions for Syrah, Viognier and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Reynvaan Family Vineyards released the first of its vintages in 2007. The estate launched its portfolio with In the Rocks, a Syrah – Viognier blend. The Contender, another product of co-fermentation using Syrah and Marsanne, and Queens Road White, a southern Rhône white blend of Marsanne and Viognier, are also produced. This range has since been expanded with several varietal wines including the Stonessence Syrah.
