An intricate blend from Santa Barbara County, this 2019 vintage comprises 42% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 16% Mourvèdre, 12% Petite Sirah, 10% Graciano, and 1% Viognier. Sine Qua Non, an avant-garde winery founded by Manfred Krankl, is known for its unconventional methods and limited production. The Third Twin Nuestra Senora was aged for 32 months in predominantly used French oak, achieving an alcohol level of 15.5%. Aromas of dark cherries, lavender, and smoked meats emerge, supported by a fine-grained tannic structure. The sandy soils of the Los Alamos vineyard contribute a distinctive mineral quality, enriching the wine`s character.
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.
