Established in 1994, Sine Qua Non is possibly one of the most famous Californian cult wineries. The creation of maverick winemaker, Manfred Krankl, this winery is world-famous for producing miniscule quantities of unique Rhône Valley-inspired blends using fruit from high quality vineyards across the Central Coast.

This magnum of Sine Qua Non's 2004 Into the Dark Grenache, despite its damaged capsule and being unsuitable for shipping, remains a coveted item among collectors. Its character is defined by rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a unique minerality, reflective of the meticulous care in its making. Notes of dark berries, cherries, spices, and herbs, with a rich texture and a long, complex finish. The wine exhibits a remarkable balance between power and elegance.

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