Stone and mineral, combined with sweet pear and a salty finish. Delicious. Buy this grape again!! — 6 years ago
16.5/20 (91/100) Аромат вишневой карамели, брусники и яблок. Довольно высокая кислотность и мягкие, но сильные танины. Весьма достойно. — 6 years ago

2008 Sine Qua Non "The Duel" Grenache. "Two Losers, Two Winners." 15.8% alcohol. Yet another less than perfect Wine Advocate scorer, but if that's not perfection screaming from my glass right now, it's mighty close. Expressive nose of lilacs, dark fruits, anise and fresh baked blueberry pie. On the palate, a potpourri of liquefied purple flowers and sweet kirsch. Typical SQN satisfying and lengthy finish. I think I would have to be tasting all these barrel aged wines side by side by side before I might be able to rank them, and even then, I expect it would be difficult to distinguish a 10 from a 9.8. I've not found much that can approach Manfred's barrel aged wines for shear opulence. Maybe @justinsmith and @saxumvineyards Bone Rock in a great year, or perhaps @philippecambie with his Clos Saint Jean Sanctus Sanctorum. Let's face it, my followers know I'm perhaps Manfred's biggest fan. Would I let ya'll know if I tasted an SQN that was anything less than great? So far, we haven't had to worry as we've not even been close. — 7 years ago

Запечёная красная слива, черешня, красное яблоко, джем из красной смородины, подсыхающие цветы, кожа, табак, мел, каучук, лакрица, сухая кора. Среднее тело с живой кислотностью и смягчившимися, но ещё чуть подсушивающими танинами. Развито, с заметными третичными ароматами. Вначале чуть разбалансированно, при непродолжительной аэрации становится гармоничнее и собраннее, появляются свежесть и объём. В хорошей зрелой форме. — 6 years ago
Nice wedge between mains and dessert, there’s a bit of funk, a bit of grip, bit of spritz, a bit of everything really that ends up as a highly enjoyable wine. — 6 years ago
On the nose; sweet liqueur style dark, dry cherries. The fruits are dry; blackberries, dark cherries, dry cranberries, black raspberries and raspberries. Violets, red roses, vanilla, crushed rocks and dry top soil. The palate is lush, rich & elegant. M body with well resolved round tannins. The fruits on the palate have a dry character just like the nose, but the body is ruby & lush; blackberries, dark cherries, dry cranberries, black raspberries and raspberries. Black fruit tea, raspberry cola, caramel, powdery limestone, volcanic minerals, vanilla, violets, red roses with a touch of pink roses, nice round acidity and a lush, ruby finish that has gorgeous sex appeal. Photos of; Kosta Browne winery, Kosta Browne Winery founders Dan Kosta, Chris Costello and Michael Browne, their beautiful Pinot grapes ready for harvest and one of their amazing Sonoma vineyards. Producer notes and history...if I remember my historical reading, Dan, Chris & Micheal were waiters in a former life. They saved tips, bought a ton or two of Pinot grapes and made their first vintage of Kosta Browne. It took with critics and they started their winery ascent. After several years of success, they sold Kosta Browne to Vincraft in 2009 for nearly 40 million dollars. One of the more amazing winery success stories in Napa/Sonoma. Try building that kind of success today from saving your tips for a few years. — 7 years ago

a delightful explosion of cherries and bitten fingernails. mmmmm — 5 years ago
The 15 is starting to round out and show even more elegance.
Look up smooth in the dictionary and you’ll find this label.
The beauty of this lush, ripe fruit stuns. Blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries, caramel, milk chocolate, layered baking spices, soft, dark spice with a shade of heat, nice dry earth, soft leather, dry stones, fresh tobacco with a hint of ash, mint, dry herbs, bright red & dark florals. Great acidity and length/polish for days.
Nice seeing Micheal (GM left photo again). — 5 years ago

16/20 (89/100) Вино с ароматами черники, ежевики, перца и легким тоном гвоздики. Высокая кислотность и интенсивные, но мягкие танины. Неплохо. — 6 years ago
13'Peter Micheal Belle Cote Chardonnay @Martin G Rivard You're always taking such good care of me, even on vacation. The balance of this wine & the quality of this fruit👍.

Edit - 2 years this will be drinking even better. — 7 years ago
