Sine Qua Non`s 2008 Grenache Estate The Duel boasts extraordinary richness, power and sheer depth. Tobacco, leather, licorice, mint and spices are woven together in this large-scaled Grenache. There is plenty of intensity here, but the 2008 has just a touch less aromatic definition than the very finest wines at Sine Qua Non. I imagine some of that may be the result of extended aging in oak. The 2008 is 82% Grenache, 14% Syrah, 2% Viognier and 1% Roussanne, all from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills. Some of the Grenache was fermented using whole clusters. - Antonio Galloni
Officially founded in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non rapidly garnered remarkable critical acclaim for their exceptionally limited production wines made from classical Rhône Valley varieties. The Duel Syrah and Grenache from the 2008 vintage are part of the Extended Barrel-Aged program and are made entirely of fruit sourced from the estate Eleven Confessions Vineyard. This is 80% Grenache, 17% Syrah, 2% Viognier and 1% Roussanne.
