The Sine Qua Non Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard unfurls gradually, yet captivates with its extraordinary nose, revealing notes of cassis, coffee beans, garrigue, and cracked pepper, intertwined with a soaring floral fragrance. This remarkable blend, comprising 82% Syrah, 10.6% Grenache, 5.3% Petite Sirah, and 2.1% Viognier, is crafted entirely from estate fruit. Fermented with 28% whole clusters and aged approximately 38 months in 50% new French oak, it showcases an opaque ruby-purple hue. The palate boasts full-bodied, seamless power, graced by velvety tannins and harmonious acidity. With a concentrated floral fruit core, it culminates in a prolonged finish.
The 2019 Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard is absolutely gorgeous. I would say it is nearly seamless, but bright acids drive a line of intensity through the fruit, lending notable freshness, tension and energy. All the elements are impeccably balanced in this magnificent, spellbinding Syrah from Elaine and Manfred Krankl. What a wine.Antonio Galloni1st September 2023

Art and Fine Wine Collide
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.
