WINE DESCRIPTION

This exceptionally intense Syrah from Sine Qua Non is a powerhouse of flavor. The nose is a complex mix of dark fruit, earth, spice, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a pleasing earthy character, a hint of licorice, and a long, lingering finish. With its big tannins, this Papa Syrah is sure to age well and improve over time. Enjoy this bold and beautiful wine now or cellar for a few years to come.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Sine Qua Non Papa Syrah 2016 is a deep and powerful wine, with a perfumed nose of black fruit, violet, and a hint of roasted espresso.On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with dark cherry, blackberry, and smoky bacon flavors. The finish is long and balanced, with notes of fresh herbs and earthy minerals. This is an outstanding example of Syrah, layered and complex yet harmoniously balanced.

ORIGINS

Winery: Sine Qua Non

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
