Sine Qua Non
Five Shooter Grenache 2007
2010 Sine Qua Non Grenache- About as good as it gets across the board, these singular, incredible wines are the result of an obsessive attention to detail at all stages of the wine making process. There is no secret or hidden magic going on here. The incredibly talented and down-to-earth Manfred Krankl simply walks the walk as opposed to only talking about attention to detail or offering up the standard, wine is made in the vineyard comments. Looking at the vintages focused on here, 2009 has produced a decadent, voluptuous style that offers up thrilling levels of fruit as well as an approachable, heady richness that-s hard to resist. While they possess ample depth and structure, I would drink these before either the 2010s or 2011s. The 2010s here are stunning and have everything; gorgeous fruit, awesome concentration and incredible purity. While the most age-worthy of the recent vintages, they're a spectacular drink even today. The 2011s, which were all tasted out of barrel, have additional freshness and focus over the 2010s. They have solid concentration and overall balanced profiles that should allow them to cruise in the cellar. — 12 years ago
Roman Sukley
2010 Stockholm Syndrome Syrah. Doesn't get much better than this. Elegant, superbly integrated. Dark fruits, seamless, huge, yet light on it's feet. Great example of why Manfred is the greatest winemaker on the planet.
Drinking spectacularly on day 2. Recommend a lengthy decant. 4 hours on day 1 was insufficient — 11 years ago
