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. Though most celebrated for their red and white wines, they have over the years produced tiny amounts of dry rosé. The Filly from the 2000 vintage is made from 100% Grenache.

The 2000 The Filly Half is a testament to the exquisite craft of Sine Qua Non. This wine showcases the complexity and depth that the winery is renowned for. A meticulously crafted wine with layers of flavors, it stands as a prime example of the winery's commitment to quality and uniqueness. The Filly Half 2000 reveals a rich palette of blackberry, licorice, lavender, and a hint of pepper. The wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture and a lingering finish that beautifully marries fruit and spice notes.

The Filly is a unique wine series produced by Sine Qua Non, known for its exceptional quality and rarity. Each vintage of The Filly series is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often using Grenache or Syrah varietals that echo the Rhône style wine Sine Qua Non is celebrated for.
