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.
The Sine Qua Non Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard 2021 is a remarkable Rhône-style red from California's Santa Barbara County, crafted by the esteemed duo Manfred and Elaine Krankl. This wine showcases an opulent character with prominent flavors of blackberry, violet, and savory notes of smoked meat, complemented by hints of olive and spice. Its structure is defined by silky tannins and vibrant acidity, contributing to a long, memorable finish. The wine undergoes a meticulous aging process in French oak for 2 to 3 years and is bottled unfined and unfiltered, enhancing its richness and depth. With outstanding aging potential of 15 to 25 years, this limited production wine is exclusively available to mailing-list subscribers.
