Note di degustazione
The 2013 Syrah Weill a Way Vineyard Exposition 2 comes across as very ripe, alcoholic and heavy. The 8% Viognier does not seem to add much. The three wines in the Exposition series take their inspiration from Guigal’s single-vineyard Côte-Roties La Landonne, La Turque and La Mouline. I see little connection to those Syrahs, except that the Exposition wines spend extended time in oak, with a high percentage of new barrels. Exposition 2 was fermented with 8% Viognier and was vinified with 50% whole clusters.

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.
