Summary

Sine Qua Non Syrah Dangerous Birds 2007 is a remarkable wine from California's Central Coast, predominantly crafted from Syrah, with additions of Grenache and Viognier. Sourced from elite vineyards, this full-bodied red is aged extensively in new French oak, enhancing its rich profile. The wine features aromatic notes of blackberry liqueur, plum, and licorice, accompanied by a complex array of spices and mocha. With a velvety texture and firm tannins, it delivers an impressive finish that lingers on the palate. This collectible vintage showcases both intensity and balance, making it a standout example of its kind. The blend comprises 93% Syrah, 4.5% Grenache, and 2.5% Viognier.

Tasting Notes

JS100

Aromas of fresh leather and blueberries with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long finish. Intense black pepper and spice. Great finish on this. Amazing complexity. Like 1978 or 1961 La Chapelle. Amazing. This will improve for…

In addition to these new releases, I was also able to taste through a number of older vintages, including the 2001 Albino, 2006 Hoodoo Man, 2003 The Inaugural, 2004 Ode to E, 1998 E Raised, 2001 On Your Toes, 2005 Nail in My Cranium and 2007 Syrah Dangerous Birds. To say I came away impressed would be an understatement. Anyone who claims this big, rich style can-t age needs to taste these wines. I opted to just list my scores for the older releases as I find Bob-s initial write-ups spot on.
