Merchant's description

Founded in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non is perhaps the most famous of all the California cult wineries and is renowned for producing exceptionally limited quantities of wines made from the classic varieties of the Rhône Valley. The Naked Truth is another of the Extended Barrel-Aged program releases having spent 38 months in barrel. It is an incredibly pure-fruited, rich and decadent blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah entirely sourced from the estate-owned 11 Confessions Vineyard.
