We love rarity, and Sine Qua Non is rare by design. For every vintage winemaker Manfred Krankl not only makes new wine, but designs a new label and bottle style. Each bottle is a work of art with a name that seems to capture its essence. Benchmark is proud to have one of the largest collections of Sine Qua Non in the country, ready to deliver at your request.
$9,842
The Sine Qua Non 2002 2-pack features two iconic Red Rhône blends from California: Grenache “More Than a Number” and Syrah “Just for the Love of It.” These 1.5L magnums are crafted by renowned winemakers Manfred and Elaine Krankl, known for their unique approach and high-quality Rhône varietals aged in French oak. The warm 2002 vintage produced low yields, resulting in wines that are both opulent and structured, showcasing rich blackberry and cherry flavors, complemented by floral notes of violets and a complex spice profile. The inclusion of smoked meat nuances adds depth, while the magnums, presented in original wood boxes, reflect the rarity and artistry of Sine Qua Non.
