Syrupy dark and roasted. Intense. A bit too much for me.

Always fun uncorking a bottle of SQN before heading on the plane and back to reality! @Kirk Alexander @Christine. We had a great trip. The only downside is we didn’t have time to visit with everyone that we wanted to see. 😉

This was enjoyable but not for me at such a high price. Don't understand the SQN craze...

I believe I’ve had this before and dismissed it, but this bottle surprised me with a balanced savory note and hid its abv well. Gotta keep it 💯.

First time drank it about 3 years ago, was impress by it. Now can feel the Cabernet Franc & petit Verdot to make it refreshing. Not my cup of tea anymore.

A very dark, powerful Grenache. Nicely rounded with no hard edges anywhere. Very nice.

Off the charts....nose, palate, finish...a powerful and deep syrah with a rush of sensory elements that arrive in wave after wave...just wow!
