Established in 1994, Sine Qua Non is possibly one of the most famous Californian cult wineries. The creation of maverick winemaker, Manfred Krankl, this winery is world-famous for producing miniscule quantities of unique Rhône Valley-inspired blends using estate-grown and purchased fruit from some of the greatest vineyards across the Central Coast. The 2005 release called Atlantis Fe203-2a is a blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Grenache and 2% Viognier sourced from the 11 Confessions, White Hawk, Alban and Bien Nacido Vineyards. Deeply dark-fruited, this exceptionally intense release also has wonderful floral perfume, savoury depth and mineral complexity. A stunning wine that scored 100-points in The Wine Advocate.

The 2005 Sine Qua Non Atlantis Syrah is a testament to the winery's exceptional skill in producing world-class Syrah. This edition comes in a rare 300cl format, amplifying its collectibility and offering an immersive tasting experience. The wine is known for its rich, complex flavor profile, with layers of dark fruit, spices, and earthy undertones. Deep, dark fruit flavors, hints of spice and licorice, with a robust structure and an intricate, lingering finish.

The Syrah collection from Sine Qua Non showcases the winery's adept handling of this Rhone varietal, presenting wines of depth and complexity.
