Tasting notes
The 2012 Syrah Weill a Way Vineyard Exposition 2 is a bit linear and sinewy in style, but it offers terrific freshness, and, interestingly, better balance with the oak. Bright red cherry, raspberry, wild flowers, rose petal, mint and a healthy dollop of Viognier give the wine its distinctly high-toned personality. The Exposition 2 was done with 50% whole clusters.

The “2012 Proprietary Red Weill Vineyard Exposition Project Trio” is three incredible wines from Sonoma County. This is Twain-Peterson’s take on the three LaLa wines from the Guigal family in Côte-Rôtie. He is emphasizing distinct clonal terroir and exposition differences as well as vinifying the wines separately. All three of the following wines were aged 36 months in 100% new French oak. The 2012 Proprietary Red Weill Vineyard Exposition 2 is 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier, 50% whole-cluster and from a southeast-facing block of the same vineyard. The Viognier was co-fermented, and this might well be Twain-Peterson’s La Turque. Notes of charcoal, burning embers, blackberry, cassis and wonderful, sweet honeysuckle are all present in this full-bodied, concentrated, impressively done wine.
