Lastly the utterly perfect 2012 Syrah Touche reminds me of a great vintage of Guigal?s Cote Rotie La Landonne. A blend of 93% Syrah 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Viognier all from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills it spent 40 months in 78% new French oak. Deep concentrated full-bodied and layered with a multidimensional texture and to-die-for notes of camphor cured meats violets smoke and assorted dark fruits this beauty has fine perfectly ripe tannin and blockbuster length. Give it 3-4 years and drink over the following two decades.
A quintessential Sine Qua Non wine the 2012 Syrah Touché is off the charts. Rich seamless and voluptuous the 2012 exudes concentration and flamboyance. Red cherry jam plum spice licorice pomegranate and new leather flesh out in an effortless radiant wine bursting at the seams with personality. The 2012 is 93% Syrah 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Viognier done with 36% whole clusters all from Eleven Confessions. (Drink between 2020-2027)
