Really liked this. Not your typical OTT SQN. Focused flavors and intense but not dense.

Nov 7th, 2015Another dream wine. This birthday lineup will go down right next to the love of it and dangerous birds and imposter McCoy experiences. Super dark fruit and savory nose with a complexity in layers with a finish that lasts for minutes. Eleven confessions. You truly cannot find anything else just like this.

Not your typical SQN. It showed very well against The Bordeaux’s and burgundies. Christine’s favorite of the night. She’s a Cali girl all the way!

Sine Qua Non extended barrel age tasting.
Together with the Stockholm syndrome this was my WOTN.
All wines performed beautifully. It showed a consistent style throughout the line up with only nuanced differences.
The EBA cuvee's get an extended time in barrel. Typically 12 months extra if I'm correct. We selected bottles that had a bit of age / cellar time from our collections since these need time to show their full development potential.
Massively structured and a plethora of spices can be found in all cuvee's. High alcohol but all well integrated and balanced. Worth seeking out if you like the style.
