The stuff of cult legend. Manfred Krankl's Sine Qua Non gives every release its own name and hand-drawn label, but the Eleven Confessions bottlings are the estate's crown jewels — sourced entirely from the Krankls' own Grenache and Syrah plantings in the Sta. Rita Hills, one of the most coveted terroirs in California. Expect the hallmark SQN profile: a deep, brooding, full-bodied Grenache of remarkable perfume and power, with wild berry, cherry, cured meat, peppercorn, sandalwood, and dried flowers, all wrapped in a seamless, ultra-fine tannic texture and lifted by bright acidity. Among the most sought-after and impossible-to-find wines in America, and built for the long haul — give it real cellar time. Drink 2027–2049.
