About This Wine
Sine Qua Non's 2020 Eleven Confessions in original wooden case: three Syrah and three Grenache from the estate vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Syrah: red and blue fruit, cracked pepper, graphite and cured meat, with a salty sea-breeze note.
- Palate: The Syrah is dense and powerful with building tannin; the Grenache rich and velvety with a deep middle.
- Finish: Both finish long, the Syrah dark and savoury, the Grenache spicy with an iron note.
Serving & Food
Open the Grenache first, as the Syrah benefits from a few more years in bottle and a longer decant of two hours. Good with roast leg of lamb, beef short rib, or duck with hoisin.
Good to Know
What's in the case? Three Syrah and three Grenache.
What was 2020 like? Hot, giving powerful wines.
