Jan 1st, 20252017 Vintage. 15.9% ABV. Only other SQN on the massive wine list at Sardine Factory was Stock so no problem opening this one. Massive kirsch nose and fruit with a two minute finish. Amazing Grenache with a bit of Syrah and a hint of Viognier. Loved it. Could use more cellaring but this was our first of the coveted wooden box.

SQN E Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard
+2 hour decant(fine/cloudy sediment). A spectacular dark magenta color. On the nose: beautiful notes of black raspberry, roasted meat, licorice, wet soil, crushed rocks, floral. Taste: smooth, rich, fresh, juicy wine with raspberry/strawberry, earth, milk chocolate, herbs, oak, and a smokey black tea long finish. YUM!
