Touché Eleven Confessions Vineyard Estate Syrah

A touch of violet with very intense blue fruit. Powerful. A bit of burn. Good purity. A bit too much for me

Super good. This. This. Is. Unreal. 12s are my well house.

Amazing

Sine Qua Non extended barrel age tasting

2012 Vintage. Brought the fireworks!

2012 Sine Qua Non Touché Estate Syrah. Pairing well with Gail’s Tie dye designs (tiedyebygail.com). Amazing Syrah for the actual birthday meal at Ca Bianca in Santa Rosa. We really needed this vacation after working the Pacific Dream Machines show with her tie dye vendor booth. Best winery visits were Kamen, b-wise, and Mumm. After two nights of Granache, gobsmacked by this Syrah.

2012 Vintage. Consistent with prior notes but the fruit was a bit restrained and tannins more pronounced in this bottle. Still, a great wine to say we’ve survived 2020.

2012 Vintage. 15.6% Alcohol. Still needs more time or long decant.

Sticking with my 10 rating and a great birthday wine!
