Tasting Notes

WA100

The 2013 Syrah Exposition 2 is a perfect wine. This is 50% destemmed and co-fermented with 8% Viognier. Bacon fat, lychee, tapenade, black raspberry and black cherry liqueur soar through the explosive aromatics of this wine. The wine hits the palate with the extraordinary silkiness, fine-grained tannin, massive concentration, but the balance and precision of a ballerina. This is truly prodigious wine that could also be considered the La Mouline of Sonoma, although I suspect these are all supposed to be the equivalents of La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

WS96

An incredible wine, deeply structured yet rich and polished, with floral blackberry and smoky beef aromas combining with bold but impressively focused flavors of wild berry, dark chocolate, graphite and licorice that linger. Drink now through 2028.
