"Very limited quantities!"

“Finally, the absolutely perfect 2012 Syrah Touche reminds me of a great vintage of Guigal’s Côte Rôtie La Landonne. [...] Deep, concentrated, full-bodied, with a multidimensional texture and notes of camphor, cured meats, violets, smoke, and black fruits, this beauty has fine, perfectly ripe tannins and a superb finish. Give it 3–4 years and enjoy it over the next two decades. ” (Wine Advocate 2018 – Taster). • Very limited quantities!

About the wine:

Finally, the absolutely perfect 2012 Syrah Touche reminds me of a great vintage of Guigal’s Côte Rôtie La Landonne. A blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Petite Sirah, and 2% Viognier—all from the Eleven Confessions vineyard in Santa Rita Hills—it spent 40 months in 78% new French oak. Deep, concentrated, and full-bodied, with a multidimensional texture and notes of camphor, cured meats, violets, smoke, and black fruits, this beauty boasts fine, perfectly ripe tannins and a lingering finish. Give it 3–4 years and enjoy it over the next two decades.
