Absolutely brilliant. This is one of the best grenaches I’ve had in a long time. Incredible aromas of plumbs, blackberries, candied blueberries, along with hints of cinnamon and clove. The palate is absolutely stunning: seamless evolution of fruit coupled with perfectly intergrated sweet tannins leading to a finish that goes on for over a minute. I have no idea if this will improve with more time in the cellar, but I have no idea why you would wait: this is unreal. Manfred Krankle is a GOD!!! 👍 — 7 years ago
Best rosé I’ve tasted. Close your eyes and you could be drinking a full-on red - love it.

Very concentrated and oaky. Typical Parker style. There are some port characteristics for sure. — 7 years ago
Honeysuckle and lemon on nose. Velvety mouthfeel with hints of peach, lemon curd, cream, bacon fat, ash and a touch of clove. Could use a little more acidity for my liking but fantastic — 10 years ago

The vino that started it all in vintage court. Definitely at or past peak but my favorite wine maker of all time — 12 years ago
As if Part 1 of Saturday night wasn’t incredible enough, Part 2 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH was all Sine Qua Non wines. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.
The second SQN White we enjoyed (after having the ‘15 “ Entre chien et Loup” the night prior) was this beautiful wine. This is more Roussanne dominant than the prior bottle, which explains the more waxy, cool mint, nutty aromas and notes on the palate. Honeyed fruit with a toffee like finish. What a white wine!
