Sine Qua Non Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard 2020

Sine Qua Non’s 2020 Grenache from Eleven Confessions Vineyard is a distinctive California blend, combining Grenache-led richness with an unusually aromatic, polished character. A small addition of Gelber Muskateller brings an extra lift to this expressive vintage.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with raspberry and pomegranate, followed by exotic tropical-fruit notes that develop in the glass. On the palate, a generous core of fruit is balanced by an open, finely detailed aromatic profile, with the wine’s richness carried by notable finesse. The supplied notes do not specify a drinking window; its concentration suggests it can be enjoyed now or given time in the cellar.

Production
The cuvée is made entirely from fruit grown at Eleven Confessions Vineyard. It comprises 82% Grenache, 12.1% Syrah, 3.3% Petite Sirah and 1.6% Gelber Muskateller. Further details about the vineyard’s terroir, harvest and winemaking are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C. Its ripe fruit and aromatic lift should suit roast lamb, grilled or slow-cooked beef, and richly seasoned Mediterranean dishes. A short decant of about 30–60 minutes can help the aromas open; taste first, as the wine’s aromatic finesse may show well without extended aeration.

Producer
