Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Grenache 2021
Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Grenache 2021
Naturally you know - or you probably wouldn't read this - we are Grenache crazy. Grenache likes it warm and Grenache has to be ripe. This iteration is a combo of 86% Grenache, 8.5% Syrah, 4.4% Petite Sirah, and 1% Viognier... Gorgeous, beautifully dark (quite dark for Grenache) color and deep, aromatic...almost loud, elegant bouquet and outrageously rich, lush, fabulously seductive palate with amazing length.

The 2021 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard is another absolutely heavenly wine from this estate, and it's easily one of the top wines from California in 2021. Darker berries, tapenade, roasted herbs, and a bloody, iron-like character define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, stacked mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a great, great finish. It reminds me of a Châteauneuf du Pape from the likes of Jean-Paul Daumen and is a tour de force in Grenache that I wish every reader could taste. Coming from a hot growing season, this beauty is powerful and full throttle, yet like all of Manfred's wines, it holds onto a sense of purity, balance, and elegance that's something to behold. Drink bottles any time over the coming two decades. The blend is 82% Grenache, 13% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah, and the rest Gelber Muskateller, fermented with 27% whole clusters, and aged 38 months in 41% new French oak.
