JD 100 & WA 100 Rated Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Vineyard Syrah 2018

Discover Sine Qua Non’s 2018 Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard—a celebrated expression of Sta. Rita Hills terroir crafted by one of California’s most revered winemaking families. This limited-release Syrah earns its place among elite wines with flawless 100-point ratings from Jeb Dunnuck and Wine Advocate, alongside Vinous’ 98-point praise for its “dark, sensual layers” of cassis, mocha, and spice interwoven with floral complexity.

Hailing from Santa Barbara County’s prized Sta. Rita Hills AVA, this Rhône-inspired blend combines 82% Syrah with Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Viognier for a harmonious depth rarely matched. Aged over 38 months in French oak (50% new), it delivers a velvety palate of ripe cherry, espresso-infused fruitcake, and cracked pepper accents—all framed by powdery tannins and vibrant acidity that promise decades of evolution in your cellar.

Ideal for collectors seeking both immediate indulgence or long-term investment, this full-bodied wine opens with time in glass to reveal lifted violet aromas and a finish that lingers endlessly. While approachable now after decanting, its structure suggests cellaring until 2025+ for peak complexity. With only 978 cases produced—including exclusive magnums—this estate-grown gem stands as a testament to Sine Qua Non’s mastery of Rhône varieties in California’s coastal terroir.

A must-own for connoisseurs of rare vintages or those seeking an unforgettable pairing for bold dishes like herb-crusted rack of lamb or aged cheeses. Note: Discounts do not apply to this Fine & Rare category item due to its exceptional rarity and acclaim.*
