Sine Qua Non is the creation of pioneering winemaker, Manfred Krankl, and is a world-famous cult winery revered for producing miniscule quantities of unique, but astonishingly high quality, Rhône Valley-inspired wines using estate-grown and purchased fruit from some of the greatest vineyards across the Central Coast. The 2014 Capo dei Putti is a blend of 90% Syrah with small amounts of Viognier, Petite Sirah and Grenache aged for 38 months in new French oak. It is extraordinarily intense yet incredibly pure with notes of blackberry, plum and dark cherry. Savoury aromatic intrigue arrives in the form of dried herbs, wild flowers and toasty oak, giving additional layers of complexity and depth. This is a stunning effort that will cellar well for at least 10-15 years.
