2008 Sine Qua Non, The Line Grenache - California, Santa Barbara County - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

is a blend of 87. 5% Grenache, 11% Syrah, and 1. 5% Viognier, with 21% whole clusters used in the Grenache component. Seventy-eight percent of it came from the 11 Confessions Vineyard and the balance from Bien Nacido and the White Hawk. It is no measly wine at 15. 5% alcohol, but it displays extraordinary berry fruit and kirsch notes intermixed with lavender and other floral components. Intense, full-bodied, voluptuously textured, and stunningly pure, with no real noticeable oak (21% new French oak was used, most of it the larger demi-muids) \r
