Founded in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non is perhaps the most famous of all the California cult wineries and is renowned for producing exceptionally limited quantities of wines made from the classic varieties of the Rhône Valley. The 2006 Raven Series Grenache is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah mostly from the 11 Confessions Vineyard, with a small amount from Bien Nacido.

The 2006 Raven Series Grenache Magnum is a standout wine from Sine Qua Non, featuring a complex blend of Grenache with a touch of Syrah. Aged in oak barrels, this wine showcases rich notes of red fruit, spice, and earthiness. Presented in a magnum bottle and adorned with distinctive raven-themed artwork, it's a collectible wine celebrated for its depth, structure, and finesse. Rich red fruit, spice, earthiness, with a balanced acidity and a long, engaging finish. A wine that beautifully melds power with elegance.

A collection notable for Rhône variety wines with a cult following, characterized by their rarity, unique labeling, and exceptional quality.
