Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Grenache 2021
"An extraordinary masterpiece of pure grenache perfection."
The 2021 Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Vineyard Grenache is a prestigious and highly acclaimed red blend from the Sta. Rita Hills, primarily composed of 86.1% Grenache with small additions of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Viognier. On the nose, it offers an extraordinary and complex bouquet of sweet redcurrants, black cherries, orange peel, and chamomile tea, accented by notes of Provençal herbs and ground pepper. The palate is full-bodied, soft, and supple, delivering a luxurious mouthfeel with flavors of pure red berry potpourri and leather that culminate in an extravagantly long finish. Having spent 38 months in French demi-muids, this powerful yet graceful wine possesses ultra-fine tannins and the structural depth to age beautifully for up to 20 years.
