Wine Advocate
Reviewed December 2012The 2010 Syrah has a show-stopping bouquet that is so complex and defined that it roots you to the spot: notes of blackberry, briary, seaweed and a faint touch of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. There is a dense core of blackberry and bay leaf, then white pepper, thyme and fennel. This is a glorious Syrah from one of South Africa’s finest winemakers. This is world class. Drink now-2020.

Wine Spectator
This is alluring, with lots of smoldering black tea leaf and maduro tobacco notes giving way slowly to melted licorice snap, currant paste and braised fig flavors. Long and supple through the finish, with flitters of spice.
Notes
Reyneke was founded in 1998 when Johan Reyneke, Jr. took over his family farm and began prodcing his own wine. With vines as old as 40 years, Reyneke is a trailblazer in the realm of biodynamic viticulture in South Africa: "The intention here is to interfere as little as possible, to allow nature to be the real maker of the wine and to truly produce terroir specific wines of the highest quality."
