2014 Vintage. 16% Alcohol. Needs a bit more time but extremely enjoyable. First time we’ve seen a white wax seal on any SQN. Part of Gail’s birthday celebration. With black truffles on house made fettuccine at Il Cortile in Paso Robles. First wine from that wooden six pack. After a day of tastings at Torrin, McPrice Meyers, Fulldraw, Booker and Benom, had to be a special bottle to stand out! Paso rocks! — 5 years ago

A killer Rhone blend of GSM that the Brower’s shared with us last night. It was perfect with flank steak tacos and charcuterie. Predominantly Syrah, full bodied but elegant and opened up significantly after a quick decanting. — 6 years ago
2016 Vintage. Same notes as previously posted by @Al Shikoh but more time has been good. — 6 years ago
Last bottle... I thought I would pour it for you folks in quarantine land! Cheers be safe. Please let this open for 2 hours minimum! Because it is singing. My closest comparison is Booker or Fulldraw.... YES I’m not kidding. @Paul T- Huntington Beach @Shay A @leon egozi @Eric S @Eric LaMasters — 6 years ago
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with wood, tobacco leaf, vegetables, red chili pepper, spices and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins.
This is a very tasty Grenache blend from Paso Robles. This 7 year old is peaking now. Spicy and rich.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Deep purple with a nose of raspberries, sweet cherries, cedar chest, and slight notes of cinnamon. Full-bodied with higher alcohol, richness, and intensity. It’s a bit hot, but not out of balance. Medium acidity and tannins. Quite nice, but I like the Honey Bunny better. — 5 years ago
Fragrance is amazing. So floral. Just magnificent. Taste is on the lighter side but well integrated. Easy to drink. Cherries and some green, fruit but well balanced. It’s really good. I would not recommend this with a steak — 5 years ago



2007 Vintage. 15.5% Alcohol. Estate Syrah from Eleven Confessions vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. Now at it’s peak and unfortunately our last bottle. Belated Gail’s birthday SQN as most of our “liquid assets” were at the WineBank that was closed except for emergencies and acceptance of shipments during our shelter-in-place. Now allowing appointments to put away our spring shipments from Top, Fulldraw, Aaron, Benom, and more. Massive liquid raspberry and red fruits on the nose and palate with a finish lasting 5 minutes. Amazing wine and definitely birthday quality. — 6 years ago

2018 I thinkOne of the best rosés I’ve had in quite some time. 66% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre. Bigger style with lots of complexity and depth to it. It’s as though someone took two of my favorite rosés, Arnyca (lighter style) and Antica Terra (super heavy style) and combined them. In the glass it has an absolutely gorgeous deep ruby color. Aromatically, it has spicy red fruits like rhubarb with watermelon, peppercorn and sea salt. It tastes remarkably like a gummy version of rhubarb, showing more spice at the finish. Not made in the crushable style, this deserves and commands some thought (and food)! My thanks to @Bill Bender for the wine and introducing me to the potential of this producer. — 6 years ago

Lovely ripe nose - dark fruit, spice. Not dense on the mouth, ample fruit and soft tannin. Depth, a little heat, elegant and with years ahead. Felt like a baby even on day 2 and 3. Decant needed on day 1. — 2 months ago
