The Sine Qua Non Subir Syrah 2016 is sourced primarily from the Eleven Confessions Estate Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara County, with some additional fruit coming from the Cumulus, The Third Twin, and Bien Nacido vineyards. It is a blend composed of 95.8% Syrah, 2.2% Grenache, and 2% Petite Syrah. On the nose, expect a complex array of blackberries, black cherries and blueberries, intertwined with hints of smoked meats, black pepper and graphite. On the palate, this Syrah is full-bodied, powerful, and concentrated, while still displaying elegance and balance. The finish is long and persistent, with an interplay of dark fruit, savoury and mineral elements.
