MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – With the 2014 vintage of Reba Red sold out since early 2018 and the 2016 vintage of Viognier almost gone, fans of the red blend and the signature white from R Vineyards can now enjoy the newly released vintage.
"The Viognier is our signature white wine,” said Rosenthal. “It is an exotic expression of the Viognier grape. Jasmine, honeysuckle, and mango lead to lush and opulent flavors of peaches, apricots, and melon,” and the 2017 vintage is now available for purchase to pair with your favorite summertime meals, or enjoy on its own.
Reba Red – a blend of the 100-percent estate-grown wine grape varietals of Syrah and Petite Sirah – has a silky, slightly juicy mouthfeel framed with flavors of black cherry, black pepper, and dry rose petal leading to a firm lingering finish.
The wine excels when paired with barbecued meats, and the new 2016 vintage of Reba Red debuts a new label.
The 40-acre sustainably-farmed vineyard blocks includes Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc as well the red varietals of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Old Vine Zinfandel (planted in 1937), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, and has been in the Rosenthal family since the 1970s.
Dave and Monica Rosenthal launched the R Vineyards wine brand in 2014 utilizing grapes from the family vineyards. R Vineyards produces limited quantities totaling no more than 500 cases per year.
Wines from R Vineyards can be tasted at the Lake County Wine Studio in Upper Lake, or purchased at local markets in Lake County including Bruno’s Shop Smart and Hardester’s Markets or contact Monica directly atThis email address is being protected from spambots.
