Sine Qua Non Covert Fingers 2004

Sine Qua Non is the creation of pioneering winemaker, Manfred Krankl, and is a world-famous cult winery revered for producing miniscule quantities of unique, but astonishingly high quality, wines using estate-grown and purchased fruit from some of the greatest vineyards across the Central Coast. Though production is mostly Syrah- and Grenache-based, there have been some rare releases of singular varietal wines and the 2004 Covert Fingers is 100% Pinot Noir from the cooler climate Arita Hills Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. This is full-bodied, opulent and remarkably elegant, with beautiful savoury complexity also now emerging to complement the delicious dark fruits.
