Sine Qua Non is one of the most famous cult wineries in the world and winemaker, Manfred Krankl, is celebrated for crafting tiny quantities of unique Rhône-inspired wines from exceptional vineyards across the Californian Central Coast. The 2002 is a stellar release produced from a blend of 96% Syrah, 2% Grenache and 2% Viognier. To quote Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate, `It boasts a provocative perfume of crème de cassis, toast, blackberries, licorice, barbecue spice, and exotic floral scents. Extremely full-bodied, with fabulous intensity, great purity, awesome length, and a finish that lasts over a minute, this classic is a must purchase.`
