Albino from the 2001 vintage is a blend of 46% Chardonnay, 40% Roussanne and 14% Viognier from the legendary Alban and Stolpman Vineyards. Though incredibly full-bodied, rich and intense, SQN whites have a remarkable capacity to age and this is now absolutely perfectly in its prime drinking window with flavours of stone fruits, citrus oils, griddled nuts and honeysuckle.
The No 6 Pinot Noir meanwhile is a wonderfully balanced, concentrated Pinot, with cherried character and chocolate and sous bois complexity.

The wines of Sine Qua Non need little introduction. Mould breaking, iconoclastic, visionary are just some of the descriptors invoked when critics and wine lovers discuss this unique winery. Based in Ventura, north of LA, the wines of Sine Qua Non regularly notch up perfect scores from critics while the waiting list for a direct allocation is well over ten years.
Founded by Manfred and Elaine Krankl in the early 1990s, the duo swiftly gained attention from wine lovers and critics for their superb Rhône blend wines, quirky labels and uncompromising approach in the vineyard and cellar. The winery has experimented with producing Oregon Pinot Noir, dessert wines and an array of quirky single varietal reds and whites, but generally revert to producing the wines for which they are most famous - Grenache and Syrah. The wines are generally big and bold, but those who like things cranked up to eleven should look no further than Manfred's "extended barrel ageing" program.
