Delightful. Bought 3 bottles for a Christmas party. Every guest LOVED it. A bit fruit forward initially but dry. Goes well on its own or with various apps - meats, cheese, fruit, etc. would absolutely buy again. Thank you Crush Wines - manhattan for another outstanding recommendation. Also. The value is off the charts. . — 6 months ago

2013 Sine Qua Non "Jusqu' à l'os" Sta. Rita Hills Grenache.
Back yet again to Manfred’s obsession with French names, this one is most apropos as I just finished watching the French Grand Prix at circuit Paul Ricard (remember the name Charles Leclerc F1 fans). And the wine’s name is spot on because this brooding bruiser of a Grenache is definitely “Bad To The Bone” alright. 79% Grenache from the 11 Confessions Vineyard along with 18% Syrah and 3% Petite Sirah, produced using 89% whole cluster and aged for around 38 months in 51% used oak, 6% new French oak and 43% concrete tanks. In the stem, deep Porsche Aubergine (one of my favorite vintage Porsche colors). Yet another in a long line of SQN “sit, swirl and contemplate” wines, this one has a highly perfumed nose of fresh raspberries, anise, spice box and freshly ground pepper. Full-throttled palate of plums, berries and that pepper, with earthy notes and toasted spices lurking in the background. Ultra-smooth tannins. Long, lingering kiss of a finish. Beautifully structured, this one takes the term “greatly concentrated” to a whole new level. Mr. Krankl definitely has a way with the finicky Grenache varietal. And yet again, his prowess as a master blender extraordinaire is on full display. Conventional wisdom says cellar, but it’s pretty darn good right now. Take a chance. Live a little! — 8 years ago

Producer over vintage everytime. Diffcult year but given the mildew and heat they’ve managed to make this textural, clean, and wholesome white that speaks to the tradition so well. Perhaps lacking some depth of the top vintages of CNDP white, this is perfect for the table, working wonders with tomato and fennel pasta to roasted trout with fall vegetables. Orchard fruits, ripe citrus, Pernod, nuts, white and yellow flowers, almond cream, herbs, pebbles, parsnip and white pepper. Lovely viscosity and phenolic grip here. — 6 years ago

A fine elegant wine, not the fleshly Meursault, but good minerality.

Really good Chateauneuf-du-Pape, word is that 2016 is a legendary vintage and trying this I would say I’ve never experienced such a young wine of this varietal with so much depth and complexity. Great nose, really smooth on the palate and loads of cherry, spice, leather and floral elements with a hint of Pernod style aniseed on the finish. For $45 I think this is outstanding, it has a high alcohol content for French wine so may not be a long termer but it’s great so just enjoy now. — 7 years ago

Very much alive, showing a nice core of dried red fruits framed by leather, cigar, sweet brown spice, Pernod, vanilla, hoisin and chestnut. The acid considerably fresh, tannins are integrated and soft, the sweet oak is present but mingles well with the aged-Sangiovese character. — 8 years ago

“Pierre à Feu is sourced from Vincent's thirty year-old Sauvignon Blanc vines that are planted on the silex (flint and clay) soils that extend east from the Cher River. When I asked why he named the wine Pierre à Feu (French for "flint", or literally, "firestone"), Vincent smiled, "The name 'Silex' was already taken," [by Didier Dagueneau's estate, who produces a similar cuvée of Sauvignon grown on flint and clay; however, the cost of one bottle of Domaine Didier Dagueneau "Silex" is about the same as a six-pack of Domaine Ricard Pierre à Feu.]

In the glass, this shimmering pale yellow-gold Sauvignon Blanc reveals enticing aromas of white grapefruit, bergamot, lemon verbena, and gun smoke, along with apricot, green mango, sage and orange oil, as the nose evolves over time. On the palate, the wine is silky, polished, precise and persistent, with a fine core of yellow-green citrus and exotic fruit flavors that echo the nose, all seasoned with its namesake flinty minerality throughout a seemingly endless finish.” — Moore Brothers — 5 years ago

(Sung to the tune of ‘Oh What a Night’) Oh what a nose. Late July, 2018. Floral nose and mango, touch of almond, maybe. And that pallet. Almond, nugget, tart unripe mango, fennel pollen, gardenia, guava. Yes, I’ll take more. — 8 years ago
