Sine Qua Non - Touche 2012
100/100
Robert Parker
"Very limited quantities!"
Finally, the absolutely perfect 2012 Syrah Touche reminds me of a great vintage of Guigal's Cote Rotie La Landonne. [...] Deep, concentrated, full-bodied, with a multidimensional texture and notes of camphor, salted meats, violets, smoke, and black fruits, this beauty has fine, perfectly ripe tannins and a successful length. Give it 3-4 years and drink it over the next two decades. (Wine Advocate 2018 - Taster). • Very limited quantities!

About wine:
Finally, the absolutely 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 Sta. Rita Hills, it spent 40 months in 78% new French oak. Deep, concentrated, full-bodied, with a multidimensional texture and notes of camphor, salted meats, violets, smoke, and black fruits, this beauty has fine, perfectly ripe tannins and a successful length. Give it 3-4 years and drink it over the next two decades.
