Sine Qua Non
Jinete Bajo Vin de Paille Roussanne
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
God. What a beautiful roussanne dessert. Pure kracher style with a honeyed palate that lent so well to the cheese and end of the night. Crazy.

2008 Sine Qua Non "Jinete Bajo Vin de Paille" California Roussanne (375ml). A sweet wine named after E’s favorite horse. Beautiful, fathom-deep gold color. Apricots and orange marmalade on the nose. Unctuous, syrupy, creamy texture with notes of candied citrus and creme brûlée. Monstrous 240 grams per liter of residual sugar with perfectly balanced acidity. Manfred really is the master of these high wire balancing acts. Is there anything that this guy doesn’t excel at? Simply spectacular. A beautiful dessert wine that is itself a dessert.
