Summary

Where Walla Walla's volcanic terroir meets Rhône Valley mastery, Reynvaan Family Vineyards transforms estate-grown fruit into some of Washington's most coveted Syrah and Rhône-style blends. Founded in 2004 by Mike and Gale Reynvaan, this boutique estate represents the pinnacle of Pacific Northwest winemaking precision.

The Reynvaan story begins with a family's unwavering commitment to terroir expression. When son Matt Reynvaan joined in 2005, bringing formal winemaking expertise to complement his parents' vineyard vision, the estate evolved into a true artisanal operation. Since their inaugural 2007 vintage, Reynvaan has exclusively utilized estate-grown grapes, ensuring complete control from vine to bottle. Matt's meticulous approach combines traditional Rhône techniques with innovative Pacific Northwest sensibilities, creating wines that honor both Old World tradition and New World innovation.

Reynvaan's signature wines showcase two distinct vineyard sites that define their portfolio. The legendary In the Rocks Vineyard, situated at 800 feet elevation within the Milton-Freewater AVA, features riverbed-tumbled basalt stones reminiscent of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's famous galets. This unique terroir produces their flagship Syrah, an ultra-premium bottling that commands allocation-only status among collectors. The higher-elevation Foothills in the Sun Vineyard, perched between 1,485-1,600 feet on the Blue Mountains' base, contributes to their acclaimed Rhône blends and single-vineyard expressions. These investment-grade wines consistently earn critical acclaim for their remarkable balance of power and elegance, with production intentionally limited to maintain exclusivity.

The Reynvaan experience epitomizes intimate, family-driven hospitality in Walla Walla's most prestigious wine region. Tastings occur by appointment only at their estate facility, where visitors enjoy personalized sessions with family members in an unpretentious yet sophisticated setting. The winery's architecture reflects their philosophy: functional elegance that prioritizes winemaking over showmanship. Tours reveal their hands-on approach, from hand-sorting protocols to their gravity-flow cellar design. Limited group sizes ensure exclusive access to library wines and barrel tastings, creating memorable experiences for serious wine enthusiasts.

Discover why Reynvaan Family Vineyards represents Walla Walla's finest expression of Rhône varietals. Contact the estate directly to secure your appointment and experience these exceptional, terroir-driven wines that define Pacific Northwest luxury winemaking.
