Wines

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. Ode to E Syrah is a blend of 94% Syrah, 4% Grenache and 2% Viognier all from their estate Eleven Confessions Vineyard and is part of the Extended Barrel-Aged program having spent just shy of 4 years in barrel.

The 2004 Ode to E Syrah is a powerful yet elegant expression of Syrah, showcasing ripe fruit, spice, and earthy notes, with a complexity that unfolds beautifully over time. Features ripe blackberry, blueberry, lavender, black pepper, and smoked meats. Full-bodied with a velvety texture and a long, flavorful finish.

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

Sine Qua Non is a California winery known for its Rhône style blends, a tendency to avoid repetition, and highly limited production of wine that’s often difficult to obtain. It was founded by Manfred Krankl and his wife Elaine. The winery is located in Ventura County, within the Central Coast region of California.
