Sine Qua Non is one of the most famous cult wineries in the world and winemaker, Manfred Krankl, is celebrated for crafting tiny quantities of unique Rhône-inspired wines from exceptional vineyards across the Californian Central Coast. This is a remarkably rare 3-litre bottling of the 2004 release, Into the Dark. It is a blend of 84% Grenache, 8% Mourvedre, 7% Syrah and 1% Viognier sourced mostly from the estate-owned 11 Confessions Vineyard. It is incredibly richly fruited with layers of cassis, black raspberry and cherry, but offers delicious savoury counterpoints of dark chocolate, woodsmoke, star anise and graphite.
