WINE DESCRIPTION
This single-vineyard, late-harvest Grenache from Sine Qua Non is an exquisite expression of the varietal. The nose is loaded with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, cracked pepper, and cedar. On the palate, it has intense flavors of dried plums, cranberry, and anise, married with a velvety texture and a hint of smoky oak. The finish is long and lingering with a hint of pepper. An exceptional bottle that will age well for years to come.
