Description

1 bottle of Sine Qua Non Syrah Atlantis Fe2O3 - 1b: Sine Qua Non is a multidimensional winery that captures California's extraordinary south-central coast red and white varietals. Their syrah blends have created a true cult following, and the impossible task of finding a bottle. Each label of Sine Qua Non is a work of art the winemakers themselves design to represent the individuality of each vintage and give the wines unique names to celebrate that inimitability.  In a recent blog from Wine Spectator's James Suckling, he noted the 2005 SQN Atlantis Syrah is a 100 point Perfect wine, unoficially."This is a 100-point wine (non-blind). I can't believe the concentration and richness it has, yet it remains fresh and balanced. Winemaker Manfred Krankl is a genius. This 2005 is the essence of Syrah with blackberry, chocolate, meat and gamy aromas that follow through to a full body, with ultravelvety  tannins and a long, long, long finish. I don't see any use in aging this wine, even though it will improve. Perfect wine.", James Suckling. There is none... Like Sine Qua Non!
