Sine Qua Non B 20
2008 Syrah
0,75L Bottle
Very Rarity Bottle.
Sine Qua Non B20 2008 Red Wine 0,75L.
A perfect bottle, matured wine.
Very rare. Top level, top label
A cult wine from California
The 2008 Sine Qua Non Syrah B 20 is very elegant and elegant, with a personality that grows on you. It consists of 92 % Syrah, 6 % Grenache and 2 % Viognier and was matured for 26 months in 60 % French oak. It has a deep, opaque purple color and slowly unfolds in the glass to reveal multi-layered, decadent aromas of blackberry and cassis-like fruit intermingled with hints of underbrush, smoked meat and chocolate. Purity as well as depth and concentration are the defining characteristics here, and on the palate the wine is light rather than full-bodied, with a phenomenal texture that coats every part of the mouth but never feels heavy or ponderous. Seamless, very pure and perfectly balanced, this beauty is a pleasure to drink now, but given the balance and overall harmony, it should continue to shine for another 12 to 15 years. Brilliant stuff that stands out more for its suppleness and elegance than sheer power. It only showed its best side on the second day, so decant it if you want to drink it soon. 97/100 Jeb Dunnuck

About Sine Qua Non :
Sine Qua Non was created in 1994 by Manfred Krankl, an Austrian émigré, as a hobby.
The reception for this wine named ‘Queen of Spades’ was extraordinary and in 1995 he released the ‘Queen of Hearts’, of which only 24 cases were made: a bottle sold in auction in 2014 for $45,000.
The winemaking facility is based in Ventura, close to Santa Barbara, where the grapes are grown.
The wines are often compared to Screaming Eagle and Harlan, however Sine Qua Non focuses on Grenache and Syrah, although Mourvedre, Rousanne and Viognier play a supporting role.
Manfred Krankl is a Rhone Ranger at heart, focused on creating what he describes as sexy wines which are peerlessly rich, elegant, harmonious and complex.
Manfred Krankl works with tiny batches, passed through a gravity flow and only starts fermentation with natural yeasts.
It is challenging to describe a bottle of Sine Qua Non, it has to be experienced.
However, Sine Qua Non is a wine many collectors claim is an essential element in their cellar and the name, which means ‘absolutely necessary’ haughtily suggests just that.
Most wineries focus on a single wine with a single label, to achieve shelf recognition, so people know what to look for. However, Sine Qua Non seldom makes it onto a shelf, few collectors will part with a bottle. Manfred strongly believes that each vintage is completely different and as such each wine should have a unique name.
Each year, Sine Qua Non release a Syrah and Grenache dominant wine, with a different name every year.
