The Winery
Sine Qua Non
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.
Summary
The Sine Qua Non Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard 2018 is a remarkable example of California Syrah, showcasing the estate's dedication to Rhône-inspired varietals. From a cool growing season, this wine is predominantly Syrah (82%), complemented by Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Viognier, and aged for an impressive 38 months in French oak. It features an opaque ruby-purple hue and offers a complex bouquet of dark fruits such as cassis and blackberry, intertwined with pepper, spice, leather, and mocha notes. The palate is full-bodied with polished tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a long finish filled with exotic spices and fruit layers. This vintage exemplifies the quality and artistry of Sine Qua Non, with limited production enhancing its allure.
