Summary

Sine Qua Non's 2015 Syrah Trouver l'Arene is a remarkable red wine from California's Central Coast, crafted from a blend primarily of 80.5% Syrah, along with Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Viognier. This wine showcases a deep purple-black hue and offers a complex bouquet of black fruits, including cassis and blackberry, intertwined with notes of violets, spices, and savory elements reminiscent of smoked meat. Its full-bodied nature is complemented by fine, rounded tannins and a refreshing acidity that contributes to a long, vibrant finish. Aged for 22 months in predominantly new French oak, this magnum release is limited and sought after for its exceptional depth and elegance.


Tasting Notes

WA100
Composed of 80.5% Syrah, 7% Petite Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre, 2% Grenache and 3.5% Viognier, all sourced from estate vineyards—37% The Third Twin, 36% Eleven Confessions and 27% Cumulus—the 2015 Syrah Trouver L’Arene was made using 34% whole cluster and has a deep purple-black color with intense cassis, black plums and black cherries scents plus hints of anise, violets, sage and tar, with wafts of savory/smoked meat suggestions. Full-bodied, this voluptuous beauty is seriously singing in the mouth, belting out vibrant red and black fruit flavor layers, all framed by very fine, rounded, ripe tannins and a wonderful freshness, finishing with persistent perfumed fruit and a spring in its step. 1,778 cases and 600 magnums were produced.
