98+ Rated Sine Qua Non 2019 Distenta I Syrah (WA/JD/V) – Limited Release

Sine Qua Non 2019 Syrah Distenta I
Elevate your wine collection with this extraordinary Central Coast California Syrah, crafted by visionary winemakers Elaine and Manfred Krankl of Sine Qua Non. This award-winning 2019 Syrah blend combines 83.6% Syrah with Grenache, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, and a touch of white grapes (Muscats & Petit Manseng), sourced exclusively from their estate vineyards—The Third Twin, Eleven Confessions, Cumulus, and Molly Aïda.

Bursting with bold complexity, this wine opens with deep cassis and blackberry notes, layered with sage, lavender, and a hint of smoked meat. Aged 23 months in French oak (43% new), it boasts a velvety texture, fresh acidity, and a lingering floral finish. Jeb Dunnuck hailed it as a “Syrah of the vintage”, while Wine Advocate awarded 98+ points for its elegant balance and decadent depth.

Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs alike, this full-bodied red pairs beautifully with rich meats or bold cheeses. Its youthful vibrancy rewards patient cellaring—drink now or let it evolve over two decades. At 15.8% alcohol, it offers a luxurious warmth without heaviness.
