Sine Qua Non 2019 Grenache “Eleven Confessions Vineyard” – A Collector’s Masterpiece

Crafted in California’s prestigious Sta. Rita Hills AVA, this 2019 Grenache blend (89.4% Grenache, 5.5% Syrah, 4.1% Petite Sirah, 1% Gelber Muskateller) is a critically acclaimed luxury wine that marries power with elegance. Aged 39 months in French oak (50% new), it delivers a complex, layered profile of ripe cherry, blackberry jam, smoked herbs, and exotic spice—earning perfect 100-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck.

Why This Wine Stands Out:

• Unrivaled Depth: A full-bodied, velvety texture with sandalwood, leather, and floral nuances reminiscent of top Rhône Valley Grenache.
• Age-Worthy Structure: Tightly wound upon opening, it blossoms over days, revealing bergamot, cured meat, and peppercorn notes (Wine Advocate 97 pts).
• Rare & Limited: From Sine Qua Non’s iconic Eleven Confessions Vineyard, a small-production gem for serious collectors.

Pair with rich dishes like herb-crusted lamb or cellar for 15+ years. Alcohol: 16%. Excluded from discounts.

Critic Praise:
– “Flawless balance… a rare mix of richness and elegance.” – Jeb Dunnuck (100 pts)
– “Wild, exotic… lavender, rose petal, and new leather.” – Vinous (98 pts)

A trophy wine for those seeking the pinnacle of New World Grenache.
