Intensity
This American wine is a classic Rhône blend. This intense and concentrated cuvée will amply reward several years of aging.
More infoA classic Rhône blend from this domain; intense and concentrated, structured by tannins and aromas imparted by its élevage. Notes of game, black fruits and pepper lift this striking wine. The wine ferments with natural yeasts before maturing for 39 months in oak casks (more than 80% new oak).
About the Producer Sine Qua Non
The Sine Qua Non winery was founded by Austrian born Manfred Krankl, who immigrated to California in the 1980s. After a few years spent opening restaurants, he settled in Ventura to make wine as a hobby. Encouraged by friends and family who enjoyed his wines, he started marketing it in 1994. His first wine was awarded an excellent 95/100 by Robert Parker. The famous American wine critic subsequently awarded him a multitude of 100/100 scores and even dubbed him “One of the most creative and multidimensional winemakers on planet Earth”. In 2004, he began growing his own vines and gradually stopped buying in grapes. His vineyard is a reference for Santa Barbara County, but his limited output means that his wines are extremely sought after.
