The Writing on the Wall from acclaimed California cult winery, Sine Qua non, is the first of their bottlings to feature Petite Sirah as the primary grape variety. Only bottled in magnum, it is a magnificent blend of 94% Petite Sirah and 6% Viognier, sourced from three of their estate vineyards, Eleven Confessions, The Third Twin and Cumulus. 350 special edition boxes were released which include one magnum and a copy of winemaker Manfred Krankl’s label art book, The Art of Sine Qua Non.

The 2012 'The Writing on the Wall' by Sine Qua Non is an exemplar of the winery's vision, a painstakingly crafted wine that reflects the very essence of California's viticultural excellence. Produced in extremely limited quantities, this wine is a testament to the art of winemaking, encompassing not just the flavors of the region’s terroir but also the artistic spirit of its creator. Dense and luxuriant, offering layers of blueberry, blackberry, and dark chocolate, with hints of vanilla and spice. A compelling texture and depth with a long, expressive finish. Impressive scores from wine critics, including high ratings from major wine publications.

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