Sine Qua Non is a highly acclaimed California winery known for producing limited-production, highly sought-after wines. Founded by winemaker Manfred Krankl and his wife Elaine, the winery gained a cult-like following for its innovative winemaking techniques, artistic labels, and distinctive approach to winemaking. Like seemingly all SQN wines, the 2000 Incognito is powerful, big, dark and brooding but in perfect harmony and balance. Mostly Grenache, the wine explodes from the glass with notes of kirsch, dark berries, spice, chocolate and minerals. Presented here in a fabulous magnum bottle.
