It was fermented with 43.5% whole clusters (primarily Grenache) and aged for 23 months, 26.5% of which were in new French oak barrels. With an intense ruby-purple color, it exudes aromas of crushed blackberries and blueberries, tar, coffee beans, cracked pepper, and thyme. The ample palate displays a fine tannic structure, harmonious acidity, and a succession of fruity, spicy, and floral notes. Its persistence suggests significant aging potential. 1,536 cases and 600 magnums will be available in spring 2022. This 2019 vintage is made almost exclusively from estate-grown grapes – only 15% come from the Bien Nacido vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. The remaining grapes come from the estate's other vineyards: The Third Twin (39%), Eleven Confessions (32%), Cumulus (11%), and Molly Aida (3%).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJeb Dunnuck – Rated 99:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe 2019 Grenache Distenta 1, tasted from the bottle, is of the same caliber as the 2020, though a touch more precise and elegant. Aromas of black raspberries, white pepper, new leather, and magnificent floral and spicy notes waft from the glass. This medium- to full-bodied wine offers a harmonious and complex texture on the palate, beautiful tannins, and a remarkable finish. The blend is composed of 76% Grenache, 9.3% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre, with the remainder being Petite Sirah and Viognier. Vinification was carried out with 43.5% whole clusters, and aging lasted 23 months, including 26% in new French oak barrels, 6.8% in concrete tanks, and the remainder in second-use oak barrels. This is another sensational wine from this estate, bordering on perfection.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eI've been a regular at Sine Qua Non for a decade now, and I'm still amazed by the consistent quality of their wines. Furthermore, Krankl manages to elevate virtually every grape variety, whether it's Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Touriga Nacional, Roussanne, or even Petit Manseng: expect a truly captivating wine with a unique character. Unfortunately, it's all too common, especially among novices, to believe that all of California's cult wines are overripe or heavy. The reality, however, is quite different: great wines combine intensity and depth while remaining fresh and elegant. And these latest vintages from Sine Qua Non are great wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valade \u0026 Transandine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55842656977244,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/SineQuaNon-DistentaIGrenache-Etats-unis.png?v=1761759345","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en\/products\/sine-qua-non-distenta-i-grenache-usa","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
