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 2011 Patine releases were part of the Extended Barrel-Aged (EBA) program with the Grenache having spent 33 months in oak barriques, of which just 11% were new. It is a blend of 78% Grenache, 21% Syrah and 1% Viognier.
