Sine Qua Non Grenache Shakti 2014
The Wine Advocate:
The 2014 Grenache Shakti is blended of 88% Grenache, 6% Mourvèdre, 4% Petite Sirah and 2% Touriga Nacional, coming 51% from the Cumulus (Estate) Vineyard, 18% from The Third Twin (Estate) Vineyard, 9.5% from Bien Nacido Vineyard and 21.5% for the Eleven Confessions (Estate) Vineyard. It was produced using 42% whole cluster and aged for around 21 months in French oak, 6% new (bottled June 21, 2017). It offers up a deep garnet-purple color and notes of dried Mediterranean herbs, dusty earth, Chinese five spice and rose petals over a core of red currants, mulberries, red plums and black raspberries, plus a waft of chocolate covered cherries. Full-bodied, decadently concentrated and yet very, very pretty in the mouth, it delivers incredibly fine-grained, ripe tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing on a persistent—totally disarming—perfumed red fruit note. 1,199 cases of 750 milliliter bottles and 600 magnums were made.

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.
In 2014, these wines are called Shakti and Piranha Waterdance.
The Shakti is made from Grenache and the Piranha Waterdance, from Syrah
In 2014 the Shakti is crafted with 88% Grenache, 6% Mourvèdre, 4% Petite Sirah and 2% Touriga Nacional.
Production was just 1,199 cases, along with 600 magnums.
