"The . . . Proprietary Red Weill Vineyard Exposition Project Trio is three incredible wines from Sonoma County. This is Twain-Petersonâs take on the three LaLa wines from the Guigal family in CĂŽte-RĂŽtie. He is emphasizing distinct clonal terroir and exposition differences as well as vinifying the wines separately. All three of the following wines [Expositions 1, 2, and 3] were aged 36 months in 100% new French oak. My favorite, as it would be if we were tasting Guigalâs La Mouline, is the . . . Proprietary Red Weill Vineyard Exposition 3, which is 84% Syrah and 16% Viognier with 10% whole-clusters. From a south-facing block, this is definitely a wine of great intensity and incredible complexity, with notes of lychee nut, honeysuckle, black raspberries, crĂšme de cassis and blackberry pie. Full-bodied, opulent, voluptuously textured and massively fruity and rich, this is a stunner and a profound wine, as are its two siblings. This is a great experiment, and the good news, I suppose, is that there are 125 cases of each of these incredible expressions of Syrah."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
