Merchant's description

Based in Ventura County, Sine Qua Non is a cult winery known for its Rhône-style wines, particularly Syrah and Grenache. They produce wines in extremely limited quantities and have developed a devoted fan base. The Pajarito del Amor Grenache 2016 benefits from a well-balanced growing season, which allowed the Grenache grapes to develop rich flavours and elegant structure. The nose is filled with ripe red fruits, such as raspberries and cherries, intertwined with delicate floral notes, white pepper, and a touch of earthy complexity. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering a harmonious blend of lush fruit flavours, velvety tannins, and refreshing acidity.
